Does Home Insurance Cover Pest Control?

Home insurance is designed to protect homeowners in unexpected events such as fire, floods, storms, and theft. However, when it comes to pests and infestations, most standard home policies will not cover the cost of pest control or the damage caused by pests. This is because pests and infestations are viewed as a maintenance issue rather than an unexpected event. Pest control encompasses the management of various pests, including rodents, insects, and birds.

What Are Your Options?

Home insurance will likely not cover an infestation or pest control, but there are many ways to tackle these issues. Pest control services like RS Pest Control can assist homeowners in effectively eliminating pests or helping to control the situation. There are specialised treatments available such as proofing and deterrent services, gutter vacuuming, drain unblocking, and disinfectant fogging. Methods to eradicate various pests can be opted for which include steam and heat treatments as well as chemical spray treatment. Alternatively, free guidance can be provided to help however professional service ensures the situation is handled effectively. RS Pest Control can advise on how to deter pests along with information on protecting your homes from re-infestation. There are many ways we can meet your needs and budget.

How Can I Prevent an Infestation?

Prevention is key to avoiding re-infestation in your home – regular maintenance and hygiene can help keep pests away:

 

  • Seal gaps or cracks in walls and around windows and doors.
  • Store food in containers, maintain rubbish bins, and clean up spills. 
  • Regularly inspect and maintain roofing and guttering to prevent entry points or pests from nesting in them.
  • Keep pets trimmed and flea treated.
  • Consider professional pest control services such as RS Pest Control for inspection – especially in areas that are prone to infestation.
