Pest Control Considerations During a Bathroom Renovation

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Do you think Pest Control during a bathroom renovation is necessary?  Well, it certainly is important.  Often when we are doing a bathroom renovation we will find evidence of a pest infestation.The warm moist conditions are prone to many different kinds of pests.

Renovating spaces in your house increases the risk for pest infestation. This includes mice, ants, termites, wasps, and bees.The risk comes as materials are being stripped from walls, floors, and ceilings and opening your home to the outside world.The areas become open and vulnerable to pests that want to enter your home.

One of the favorite places for insects is where it there is moisture, humidity and food.That means a bathroom is perfect. When doing your bathroom renovation you may find those pests even when you didn’t know you have them.

If there has been a plumbing issue, you may just have drain flies.They come in large numbers and can breed inside drains that have accumulations of organic matter.Drain flies can also breed where water and decay exist.  They will enter the bathroom thru the sewer main, a break in the line or perhaps dry drain taps that are not frequently used.

We recommend using Natural Pest Solutions for Pest Inspections at the start of a remodeling project to help protect your home from any pest invasion.

dealing with ants during a home renovation

Ant Control during your Bathroom Renovation

Ants are attracted to areas of high moisture such as bathrooms.  They are also attracted to scents coming from drains, stagnate water as well as hair that has been stuck in the drain.  Once they find a food source for their colony they bring their friends.

Carpenter ants tunnel into wood to nest which will damage any wooden structure.This is a problem often found in bathrooms where wood is moist.  This makes it much easier for the carpenter ants to tunnel and cause damage.  Keep in mind carpenter ants like to nest far beneath the surface so if you use a store bought chemical you may miss some.  Which means they are still nesting in your wood and come back to invade you nice new bathroom remodel.

Call Natural Pest Solutions.They are the professionals to call when you need ant control.

Mice control during your bathroom renovation

Mice are capable of entering your home through openings smaller than you would imagine.  They can come through drainage pipes if not properly sealed.  Mice enter through sink and bathtub drains as well.  They can even find and fit their way through plumbing lines. And, they love to breed, making a complete infestation happen pretty quickly.

During a bathroom renovation, many of these spaces are opened and exposed.This is the perfect opportunity for mice to take advantage and find a nice cozy place to stay.

Natural Pest Solutions has the solutions to keep those slinky mice from coming up through the cracks!

Is a Plant-Based Diet Good for All of Us?

Over the last few years, I’ve felt an increasing unrest at something I’ve observed in real food communities and groups…. Mainly the idea that there is one specific diet that is great for everyone, and that each group seems to have found this holy grail of protocols. The research continually points to personalization and diet...

Shot Scope Case Study #3: Improving Ian’s Short Game

In our 3rd case study, the team at Shot Scope provides an analysis of Ian, a mid-to-high handicap golfer who, like many golfers of his ability level, struggles in multiple facets of his game. Ian’s practice time is limited, so the recommendations are simple and easily integrated into his existing routine.

Ian’s Story

Ian is a 16 handicapper who doesn’t hit many greens and suffers from poor proximity in the short game. Hitting greens, and when you don’t, chipping it close to the pin, is key to keeping your score down, and playing to your handicap (if not better).

Compounding his issues, Ian struggles with a slice, which is highlighted by his high percentage of right misses. His Shot Scope data shows that 57% of his shots finish right of the fairway. Even when his drives do find the fairway, the data shows a strong right-side bias as seen in the image below.

Ian’s slice causes him to lose distance, and subsequently, he struggles to reach some of the longer Par 4s in two or even three shots. As you’d expect, Ian’s tee shots go farther when they hit the fairway, and there is a significant distance loss when he misses right. It’s like that Ian will always have to contend with a slice, as he doesn’t have the time to devote to the practice required to fix it. As a simple workaround, Ian could change his aim point to help mitigate the consequences of his slice. If he aims farther left and still slices it, a greater percentage of his shots will likely find the fairway.

Focus on The Short Game

What is most likely to help Ian lower his score, however, is to focus his efforts on chipping and putting, with the greater emphasis on chipping. On his best day, Ian got up and down 48% of the time and shot 83. 48% is an outlier for Ian, as highlighted by his season up and down average of only 12%.

Shot Scope defines a short game shot as any shot 50 yards or less from the pin. Ian hits only 27% of greens, so a high percentage of his shots are from inside 50 yards. Ian’s average proximity to the hole on short game shots is 21ft, with only 16% of his short game shots finishing inside 6ft (referred to as the Red Zone on the Shot Scope dashboard).

For Ian to get up and down and lower his score, he needs to be hitting chips inside of 6ft with greater frequency. Ian’s putting stats show he makes 78% of putts from 6ft or less, whereas he converts only 8% of putts from 18-24ft. Therefore, focussing on chipping inside the 6ft circle will ultimately lead to fewer shots per round.

By way of comparison, PGA Tour players average a short game proximity of 7ft. If Ian can reduce his short game proximity to even 15ft (10ft ideally), the likelihood is that a higher percentage of shots will finish inside that vital 6ft (red zone). This will significantly improve his chances of getting up and down, or saving par (bogey at worst). Should Ian be able to reduce his average proximity to 15ft, the Shot Scope team projects he would save an average of 2 shots per round.

Ian’s short game statistics show he uses his 7-iron most frequently. This high percentage of use suggests he is comfortable with this club, but the lower loft limits the type of shots he can play. For example, when short-sided behind a bunker, a high lofted wedge shot is more appropriate. Unfortunately, Ian’s short game statistics are poorer still when he uses his lob wedge around the green, as seen in the image below.

So how can Ian improve his proximity? When it comes to the short game, there are many variants on shot type and club choice. For those who struggle, the recommendation is often to keep it simple, stick to what works best, but work to develop the ability to use other clubs as necessary.

Conclusion

A simple suggestion for Ian is to arrive at the course 20 minutes earlier than usual (as this is all the practice time he has). He should spend that time chipping onto the practice green with both his 7-iron and lob wedge. This will likely not only improve his skill level but should greatly enhance Ian’s confidence knowing that if he misses the green, he has a good chance of hitting it inside that vital Red Zone.

If Ian can improve his average proximity to the target to 15ft, he will be much more likely to start playing to his 16 handicap again. If he can reduce it further still to 10ft, he may even start to shoot below his handicap.
