Pest Prevention Tool Kit
Pest prevention tool kit
What do I need in my pest prevention tool box?
Safety first: Your tool kit should include gloves, protective eye wear, boots or shoes that will protect your feet, and any other safety wear your particular location, or tool, and danger level might require.
A safety tip: Keep edged tools sharp! Sure a sharp tool can cut you more easily than a dull one, but a dull tool is likely to be used in an inappropriate way, and is more likely to cause injury due to excessive exertion and fatigued aggravation! “If the workman does not sharpen the edge, he must put forth more strength.” Solomon
Basic Tools
- Edged tools, like hatchets, axes, machetes, saws, and anything you can think of to help you clear away brush and weeds from places where brush and weeds don’t need to be.
- Something to sharpen the tools. In general, that would be a file or a whet stone.
- A means of transporting brush, weeds, rubbish, and rubble, and other materials.
- A caulk gun.
- A hammer.
- A set of screwdrivers.
- A pair of tin snips.
These tools will be needed to clear away brush and debris from your property, and seal up cracks and holes in your home.
A list of basic materials would include:
- Caulk
- Hardware cloth
- Stainless steel wool
- Small nails
- Any weather stripping, door sweeps, or other types of door and window seals.
These materials are used to seal holes and cracks, and cover vents and other such large openings where pests might gain entry.
As you can see, this list is short, and the opperations relatively simple. You probably already own all the tools you need, so, get started!
