Protecting your home against summer pests

All of those summer pesky pests will be kept out of your home. You’re in luck! There are many easy steps you can take to prevent them from even starting to invade. Although the pesky buggers can show up any time of year, they become more active as the weather warms up. Longer days and more sunshine mean they have more time to graze! Summer visitors are ants, mice, spiders, mosquitoes, wasps, and bees.

Our pest control experts are here to share some friendly advice for keeping your home pest-free!

Time for a Spring Clean

Pests are devious little creatures that can slip inside your home through the tiniest openings doors, windows, cracks and crevices. So, let’s make it more difficult for them to enter! Here’s how:

Cover Those Trashes: Store your dustbin covered and dispose of waste frequently.

Kitchen Clean-Up: Wipe down surfaces and prevent food crumbs from turning your kitchen into a raccoon paradise. After all, a clean kitchen is a happy kitchen!

Seal Leftovers: Seal leftover food in containers to keep it fresh and bug-free.

Fruits and Veggies: Make sure not to leave out produce for long; put them away to avoid attracting unwanted friends.

Declutter: Make some time to eliminate items that you no longer have use for. Having less clutter leaves fewer places for pests to hide!

Regular Cleaning: Clean the room properly from time to time, especially cupboards and closets, where dust tends to accumulate more.

Seal the Deal

Now that you have your home clean, let’s close down those entry points! Look around your house and fill in any cracks you see, especially in the foundation. Check your door and window screens, too  if they have holes, you should replace them.

Yard Care Tips

Fruit flies aren’t the only ones who’ve decided that your yard will be a nice, cozy home so keeping your yard clean is extremely essential. Here’s what you can do:

Removal of Debris: Use a rake to clear away leaves, branches and twigs.

Trim Flowers and Plants: Trim bushes and shrubs to keep them at least 1 foot away from your home.

Moisture Control: If you have a pond or fountain, make sure you’re cleaning it often; standing water is a beacon for pests! Do any yard leaks as well.

Wood piles: Store them away from your home to make it less likely pests will hang around.

Outdoor Equipment: Spray down your gardening tools before taking them inside.

And remember to keep your house well ventilated and control humidity!

Although these measures can make a huge difference, routine pest control is essential to a pest-free home. If you have any questions, our friendly team is only a phone call away! Our solutions are safe and effective, ensuring your home and family remain happy and healthy.
