No one wants any pests in their home! Insects and other pests can cause an immense amount of stress and anxiety. Here are some things you can do for pest prevention in your home:
- Avoid clutter– Clutter creates a place where bugs and other pests can hide. Make sure you are not creating places of clutter throughout your house for pest prevention.
- Close off any place where they can enter– Check your windows, baseboards, and cabinets for any place where bugs and pests can enter. If you find cracks, caulk them quickly. Keep your garage closed at night and only open it when necessary. If you receive a package at your front door, check it for bugs before bringing it into your home.
- Vacuum, sweep, and clean your house regularly– If there is a spill, clean it up quickly so there is not a source of food for bugs and rodents. Try to keep your floors as crumb-free as possible. Wipe down your countertops every day. Take a little time each day to do a quick walk-through of your home and quickly clean up anything that needs cleaning.
- Store food in tight containers– Ants and some other pests have a keen sense to find food sources, so keep food sealed in containers where they cannot access it.
- Take out the trash regularly– Rodents and bugs are attracted to items you likely have in the trash, so make sure to take it out frequently.
