Proactive Pest Control Tips

One of the most unpleasant experiences you can face as a home or business owner is when your property becomes infested with bugs. Some of these critters such as roaches are a bit more difficult to get under control as they are very resilient against insect sprays and other common household pesticides. Avoid roaches and other bugs from taking over your living or workspace with some of our proactive pest control tips.

 1.)  Fix your leaky faucets - Roaches don’t need much to survive. Even the tiniest droplets of water can keep them happy for months. By repairing your leaking kitchen or bathroom faucet you will not only prevent roach colonies from thriving but also save money on your upcoming water bills.

 2.)  Invest in quality food storage - We all know that the number one reason critters take over a kitchen is because of food. While much of modern food packaging comes with resealable features, this is usually not enough. Chip bags and cereal boxes make a cozy home for hungry critters. By storing all your food in airtight containers, you will not only keep the bugs out, but also preserve the freshness of your snacks even longer.

 3.)  Empty your trash even when it is not full -Another great place critters love to hide is in your trash. Garbage containers that have been sitting around for just a couple days can start to attract pests. A good practice is to empty your garbage every night or before you leave for extended periods of time.

 4.)  Clear out your clutter - If you have lots of unattended items in your home or business such as old papers and cardboard boxes, don’t leave these laying around. Insects love small dark places to hide.

 5.)  Cleanliness is key - The best way to avoid any kind of pest infestation is keep your space clean. Don’t leave dishes piling up in the sink and wipe up messes as soon as they occur. Bugs do not like the smell of cleaning supplies. Properly wiped down surfaces and clean floors are the best deterrent for pests.
