Spring is that time of the year many turn to clearing out the clutter. People make extensive preparations to ensure that their home is organized and sparkling clean. But one area is often overlooked: pest control. Bugs and rodents tend to come out of hiding when the weather starts warming up, so make sure to follow the suggestions below to keep help prevent spring pest problems.
Clean your pantry
Spring is a great time to take early action against pests. As you clean your house this spring, go through your pantries to make sure that you get rid of all stale or rotting foods. Expired foods draw the attention of ants, meal moths, flour beetles, weevils and mice. Be sure to clean out any crumbs in your pantry and make sure all your dry foods are stored in airtight containers. These steps will help protect you against pesky pantry pests!
Check for water
Spring cleaning is also a good opportunity to make sure you don’t have any leaking or broken faucets as most pests are attracted to water. Make sure that there is no standing water in your home or surrounding property as these areas can become a breeding ground for mosquitos and other pests.
Eliminate entry points
Cracks, holes, and gaps in your home’s foundation make the perfect entrance for pests and these can quickly become damaged during the winter months. Make sure they are in good condition and that any potential entry points for critters are completely covered up.
