Some statistics suggest that we are never more than ten metres from a rat. Other common claims state that after a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches are the only creatures that would be left alive. Even if you're not aware of it then - unless you live in a nine metres-squared nuclear shelter - chances are your home is susceptible to some form of infestation. Bearing in mind that rats were the cause of the black death and are synonymous with disease, this is not a great state of affairs. Fortunately there are many preventative measures you can use to rid yourself of such infestations and many products such as Riddex and Riddex Plus that can further aid this cause. By taking heed of some of these suggestions you can keep your house free from pests without having to go nuclear

The first thing to do is to check for signs of infestation. In the case of rodents you should check for droppings with look like small raisins or seeds, as well as torn paper and fluff in various corners of the house and inside drawers. If you have rodents in the loft or insulation then you may also here scratching noises and the pitter patter ...
... of little feat during the night. Cockroaches are similarly easy to spot, and can often be seen during the day. As fairly distinctive creatures it's hard to miss a cockroach if it runs across your kitchen floor. Another common sign of cockroach infestation is the presence of ‘shell casings' which are discarded egg casings from hatched infants and look like small brown ovals. The most notable of symptoms however is the strong and unpleasant odour that will accompany such an infestation. If these symptoms are present then chances are you have an infestation and should take preventative measures or invest in a product such as Riddex.

If you have some form of infestation then the first port of call is to do a thorough clean of the house to attempt to catch any stray insects or rats. While doing this you should also remove any stored mattresses, foods or bags of clothes as these can provide dark, warm nesting areas for all kinds of pests. At the same time you should seal off any food that's left open or accessible which may in fact have been the initial draw for any rodents or roaches. You should also close off any gaps in your house that can provide entry points for more critters - any cracks in the walls or gaps in the window fittings need to be sealed shut to prevent more invaders coming in. There are also many traps and pesticides available that can help eliminate some of your problem. However once an infestation has set in it can often be very difficult to remove the problem entirely using conventional means as most solutions won't dispose of eggs or clean out the smaller, hidden areas.

Riddex and Riddex plus however offer a solution that turns the entire wiring of the home into a repellent in a way that's both safe and chemical free. This works through a patented electromagnetic technology that interferes with the nervous systems of vermin so driving them out of the family hole. At the same time the product is listed with both Underwriters Laboratories and the Environmental Protection Agency suggesting it's also an eco-friendly way to turf out your unwanted visitors.
