What does this mean for us? When the warm weather dates back to 1888, anything is possible for Pests. We already have infestations of fleas, ants, and termite activity.
Here are some tips to keep your home pest free;
- Clean out the rain gutters. This will keep rain flowing freely without water settling. Standing water is mosquitoes!!!
- Clean up all outside Holiday decorations or left over Holiday storage. No harborage results in no breeding areas.
- If you are opening your windows to let the fresh air in, check your window screens for no gaps and no holes.
- Always seal any entry points for Pest. That is the long term control.
- Plants in, plants out…..what is it going to be? Check for pest activity in plants, especially ghost ants.
- Where is all that firewood you have waiting on the cold weather? If it is up against the house, expect pest problems.
- Plumbing, drains, excessive moisture….keep drains clean and clear. Small fly problems will disappear.
- Food preparation is a biggie for residential or commercial kitchens. You can not expect pest to not find food if it is available.
- Fleas, Fleas, fleas, it is a 3 part program. If you leave one out, it is worthless.
- Treat Pet
- Treat Pet living areas
- Treat outside pet areas
- Trash removal, this is any trash. Garbage is taken out daily. Floors are vacuumed for any debris. Do not leave crumbs for the insects. They don’t need your help! J
