Plumbing Leaks Cause Pest Infestations

Plumbing leaks are inconvenient no matter how you slice it, and they can even bring unwanted pests. Just like humans, pests need water to survive and plumbing leaks allow them a limitless supply. This is not to say that all pest problems are plumbing related, but it is definitely worth a little investigating.

The Investigation
Take note of the area that you are commonly seeing pests and inspect the nearest water source. The leak could be inside of your wall or in a tough to reach place, but most leaks are easily accessible. The area underneath your kitchen and bathroom sink are popular spots for insects to gather if there is moisture leaking from above. Often times, the leak is coming from the seal between the wall and the pipe that is entering it. Examine this area and make sure the seals are as tight as they should be. This could save your bathroom from becoming the party spot for the neighborhood cockroaches.

The Solution
Once you have determined where your leak is coming from, it is time to get all of the creepy crawlers out of your house! Calling in a plumbing professional to fix the leak is a good place to start. Once he/she cuts off the pests water supply, the time has come to give them a mini Armageddon. You can go to the local hardware store and purchase some pest removal products, or you can leave it to your local pest removal professional.

ATTENTION: The time to get rid of the pests is only AFTER the leak has been fixed. If you only focus on the surface of the problem, the pests will keep coming back.
