Fresh fruit bowl looks great sitting on the table, but it can attract flies.\u00a0 Dispose of scraps in a covered trash bin or in the compost pile right away.\u00a0 Clean your sinks and drains regularly to keep them from becoming breeding grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning is not just for the kitchen or dining room.&nbsp; Insects aren\u2019t picky where they eat, so give your whole house a once-over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your pipes and fix leaks.\u00a0 Wipe up water spills immediately.\u00a0 Check basements, bathrooms, and attics for damp spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stacks of boxes and newspapers can become an inviting home for cockroaches, so regularly send those items to the recycler.&nbsp; Even just clearing up clutter will give bugs less room to hide and scare you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Needed Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any tiny cracks and spaces in your screens, windows, and doors are places for critters to come in.\u00a0 Add or replace worn weatherstripping around doors.\u00a0 Door sweeps and thresholds are also effective.\u00a0 \u00a0Replace or patch screens; consider replacing them if they are not 20 mesh or finer. \u00a0If bugs can still get through the mesh, keep windows and doors closed.\u00a0 If you are considering replacing your doors, choose self-closing ones.\u00a0 Caulk or fill any holes you can find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check your Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Insects inevitably hitch a ride with your pets while they are outdoors, so wash and or brush them regularly.&nbsp; Dogs and cats can bring fleas and ticks into your home.&nbsp; The fleas get in your carpet and furniture and wreak havoc.&nbsp; Check your pets for pests regularly.&nbsp; Wash them with a medicated shampoo, and don\u2019t forget the flea treatments or collars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you have a rodent problem, your cat or dog can be excellent pest control. &nbsp;Some cats are great mousers, and some dogs go after those voles. &nbsp;Make sure your pets are up to date on their shots and have taken a de-wormer to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget the Outdoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pests can hitch a ride on firewood, so check for bugs before you bring it in for your fireplace.\u00a0 Landscaping too close to your walls and foundation can give insects a close route to an upper window. \u00a0Clear leaves and dead vegetation from near your home. \u00a0Mow and trim your lawn one last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mosquitos breed in standing water, so make sure water isn\u2019t accumulating in buckets or holes.&nbsp; Plants that you move indoors to protect them from an early frost can also have different insects.&nbsp; Make sure your trash cans are emptied each week and cleaned periodically.&nbsp; Clean up anything that can bring animals to your home \u2013 slash piles, construction debris, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspect Your Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn to recognize the signs of insect and rodent activity such as tunnels, webs, droppings, chewed on packages or fibers, or exoskeletons.\u00a0 In addition to storing firewood away from the walls of your home, get regular inspections and treatments if you are vulnerable.\u00a0 Check your roof, siding, and trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go on the Offense Against Bugs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you see a bug, kill it.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t, they will multiply, and one bug will become a lot more very quickly.\u00a0 You can smash them, trap them, use natural means, or spray them.\u00a0 Whatever method you choose, make sure it\u2019s safe for your pets and kids.\u00a0 If you see a nest or the numbers seem overwhelming, call an expert to get them under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There are Good Bugs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t freak out over every insect you see.\u00a0 Certain spiders, ladybugs, and beetles actually eat other bugs and provide benefits to soil and plants. \u00a0An expert can teach you which ones not to worry so much about.\u00a0 On the other hand, if you see an infestation, take measures to keep even the good bugs under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">i Pest Control &amp; Termite Control for Local Pest Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s time to call in an expert, choose i Pest Control.
