posted in: Blog Posts | 0

It’s a fact that pests are very annoying. You don’t want your house, business or lawn covered with insects that bite, sting or carry diseases. The most common pests you will experience throughout the year are mice, wasps, ants, mosquitoes and ticks. However, there are many other dangerous and annoying pests that can enter your residence unwanted.

Here are several tips to help prevent pests from entering your home or business:

  • Make sure you have screens on every door and window.
  • Remove all stagnant water sources so mosquitoes will not be able to breed.
  • Seal all cracks and crevices and caulk over all gaps in the exterior and foundation of your home.
  • Cover up any outside entry points like chimney holes as well.
  • Keep up with regular yard maintenance such as mowing the lawn, cleaning up debris around your property and trimming back shrubs at least 6″ from your house.
  • Reduce any food sources such as dog food and cat food that can attract pests such as mice, ants, roaches and others.
  • Cleaning your gutters on a regular basis will also help reduce pest activity.
