Here are some tips for keeping unwanted pests away so you and your family can kick spring off on the right foot!
A good place to start with spring pest prevention is to complete a good deep cleaning and de-cluttering of your home. Be sure to table the "forgotten" places. Pests love backs of closets, underneath heavy appliances, and around storage boxes. Keep an eye out for damaged wood or crumbs of partially eaten food, these could be signs of pest activity. Spotting signs in or around these areas could be a sign that an existing pest infestation is present in the home.
Clear yard debris as soon as possible. Give pests less places to hide and thrive by removing leaves, branch piles, and other organic materials from around the home. Items such as tarps, toys, and plastic containers should be cleaned and put away to discourage infestation by spiders, mosquitoes and other yard pests.
Be sure you are equipped with proper food and trash storage for the coming year. Plastic or metal storage bins inside your pantry/kitchen provide another level of protection for your food, mitigating the attraction of hungry springtime pest (Mice and Rats). Trash she be removed from your home as often as possible and taken from the premises at least once a week. Don't forget while doing yard clean up, check your trash bins for cracks or holes.
