WARM WEATHER IS HERE

Warm weather is here! All it takes is a couple warm days and our insects are off and running.
To prepare now for your spring Pest Prevention, follow these simple tips.

1. Clean up any debris around the foundation. (Especially if it was there all winter)

2. Seal and caulk any openings going into the home. A tight house is a bug-free house.

3. Keep all bird seed feeders a good distance from the house. (Draws ants and rodents)

4. Pick up any fruit lying on the ground from the fruit bearing trees. It also draws rodents and flies.

5. Do not leave any water standing near the house. This draws unwanted mosquitoes.

6. Keep trash cans away from inside the attached garage.

7. Vacuum window tracks with dead insects laying in them.

8. Check all irrigation heads to direct the water away from the house.

9. Rake old mulch back from up against the foundation and don't pile new mulch too high. (no more then 2 inches)

10. Pets should be on a flea program now, do not wait until you see a flea!Thank You and Happy Spring Fever!
