Your home is supposed to be a place where you can feel safe and comfortable without any unexpected visitors. But unfortunately, a lot of homes in the area are being greeted with the presence of small, furry, or not furry guests. They go by the names of spider, cricket, mouse, rat and squirrel. They’re looking to get inside for shelter at this time of year and it is your job to keep them out!
Dirty Dinners
Whether you’re an order in or cook it up type of family, cleaning is a must! Not only is it sanitary and just proper, it is vital to keeping your home safe from pests. If you do not do a thorough cleaning after each meal you are leaving yourself vulnerable to pest invasion. Make sure you do the following tasks after every family dinner:
- Wash dishes and leave no leftovers in the sink.
- Cover leftovers with Tupperware or seal away in Ziploc bags.
- Wipe down counters with Lysol cleaner and leave no crumb behind.
- Sweep floors and send the family pet to clean up any scraps.
Loose Security
Have you had any plumbing or HVAC repairs done recently? They are common around this time of year and too many homeowners don’t inspect the job after it is complete. If there are any openings to the outdoors, these need to be sealed with rubber or foam insulation to prevent the coming and going of pests.
Leaks and Squeaks
Every once in awhile you should check underneath your sink, refrigerator and dishwasher to look for leaks. Pests drink water just like we do and this is basically you just offering them a free source. Not to mention, these inspections will also help you limit the damage that a leak can do to your plumbing.
