SHOULD I LOCATE MY COMPTON GARAGE BEHIND THE HOUSE?

Garages, concrete garages, compton garage FAQ
The most convenient location for a garage at an average detached or semi detached house is often set back behind the house, leaving enough access to the back garden. This allows for a wider garage where access is limited. Offset doors can be particularly useful in this situation. Setting the garage further back is often more acceptable to planners and often ensures that below ground drains and services are not disrupted.

WHERE SHOULD I LOCATE MY COMPTON GARAGE?

Garages, concrete garages, compton garage FAQ
Ideally your Compton garage should have a clear space at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. In reality this is often not practical and at many sites it is not needed. A reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. If the space around your garage is restricted remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also cut back or remove any nearby shrubs and trees. Remember to allow for future growth.

I saw a mouse in my garage, is my house infested?

Pest Control, Termite Control and Integrated Pest Management...
Not necessarily. You may have just a single mouse in the house. The only way to really know is to have a professional inspect for signs of infestation or to purchase glue traps, and monitor the activity yourself. Many times a single mouse will enter a home for food or shelter if the door is left open. If you see more than one, you will need some other form of control for them. The reason you haven't seen any problems is because of our regular service.

Why do I get lizards in my house? Or garage? Or laundry room?

SDNHM Herpetology FAQ
house guests go, they're quiet, don't eat much, and never ask to be taken to the mall, so look on the bright side. Lizards come inside for several reasons: The temperature inside is better than the temperature outside. Like all other reptiles, lizards are ectothermic, which means they can't regulate their body temperature. Very hot and very cold days are both tough for them, and they will seek relief in areas with better temperatures -- like inside a house or building.
