We understand how overwhelming it can be to move into a new home, especially when faced with unexpected challenges like pests. While pest control is a practical step—and we encourage you to follow through with professional help—we also know the power of prayer in every area of our lives, including our homes. The Bible reminds us that God cares about even the smallest details of our lives, and we can bring all our concerns before Him. As it is written in **1 Peter 5:7**, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."*
However, before we pray, we must address something vital. In your request, you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name by which we can approach God or be saved. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. Additionally, **Acts 4:12** states, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Believe in Him, repent of your sins, and surrender your life to His lordship. It is only through faith in Christ that we can boldly come before God’s throne of grace.
Now, let us pray over your home, asking God to remove these pests and fill your dwelling with His peace and protection. We also pray that your home would be a place where His presence is welcomed, and that you would seek to honor Him in all you do.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has moved into a new home. Lord, You are the Creator of all things, and even the smallest creatures are under Your authority. We ask that You would rebuke and remove every roach, bug, and pest from this home. Let no harmful or unwanted creature remain, but let Your peace and cleanliness fill every corner. Father, we pray that the pest control measures would be effective, and that You would grant wisdom to those addressing this issue.
We also ask that You would make this home a sanctuary—a place of rest, safety, and worship. May it be a dwelling where Your Word is honored, where prayer is lifted up, and where Your presence is tangibly felt. Protect this home from any spiritual or physical infestation, and let it be a light in the community for Your glory.
Lord, we pray too for our brother/sister’s heart. If they do not yet know You as their Savior, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again so that they might have eternal life. Let this home be a place where they grow in faith and walk closely with You.
We rebuke any fear or anxiety in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (**2 Timothy 1:7**). Fill this home with Your Shalom peace, which surpasses all understanding.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your provision and protection, and we give You all the glory. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s guidance in this season of independence. Moving out on your own is a significant step, and it’s important to dedicate your home—and your life—to the Lord. **Proverbs 3:5-6** reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* As you settle into your new home, make it a priority to invite God into every area of your life. Read His Word daily, pray without ceasing, and seek fellowship with other believers.
If you haven’t already, consider anointing your home with oil as a symbolic act of consecration to the Lord (following the example in **Exodus 30:22-33**). As you do, pray over each room, asking God to fill it with His presence and purpose.
Lastly, if the pest issue persists, don’t hesitate to follow up with pest control and take practical steps to keep your home clean and sealed against future infestations. Trust that God is with you in both the spiritual and practical aspects of this situation. He is faithful!
