Check out this list of pest control supplies. These are products we recommend highly for the first and most important step in controlling pests on your property.

Here is your list of the best pest control supplies:

• A wheel barrow or cart

• A machete

• A weed trimmer

• A lawn mower

• A saw

• A shovel

• A ladder

• A caulk gun

• Caulk

If you own a home, you probably have these pest control supplies around the house already.

These are the items you need to clear your property of rubbish, brush, and debris, provide proper drainage for low spots, keep your lawn cut low, trim trees and shrubs, and seal your home against insect invaders.

When you do these things, you will be as pest free as humanly possible.

Notice that there are none of the standard pest control supplies or pest control products in this list.  Pest control supplies like insecticides should not be the first step in any pest control program. To control pests for the long haul, you should start with prevention first, only using insecticides when they are needed to control an infestation, or other abnormalities, if at all.
