Lesson Overview

15.16 – Dealing With a Bug Infestation or Rodents: Discovering pests can trigger fear, but the solution begins with calm investigation. Identify what you’re seeing—ants, roaches, mice—so you can target the right method. Clean affected areas thoroughly, removing crumbs, clutter, and standing water that attract them. Use sealed containers for food and garbage. Document when and where activity happens; this helps professionals treat effectively. Avoid harsh sprays without ventilation, especially near pets or children. Sometimes the root problem is outdoors—trash bins, cracks, or leaks. Sealing gaps and staying consistent with cleaning stops recurrence. Reporting infestations early prevents embarrassment or worsening conditions. Remember, pests don’t mean you’re dirty—they mean something in your environment invites them. Addressing that pattern builds confidence in your ability to restore order. Every step toward cleanliness and prevention teaches ownership, reminding you that power over your space starts with awareness and consistent daily care.
