A Clean Home is a Pest Free Home in 2023
Keeping your home clean will reduce the attraction of pests since they are attracted to dirt, crumbs, and untouched areas. Cleaning up the mess around the house will lessen their attraction as well. You should not only clean the parts of your home that you use regularly, but also the rooms you tend to less frequently use. In order to prevent pest nesting and avoid unseen pest damage, you need to clean your basement, attic, and garage at least once a year.
Keep food in a dry and clean place
Store leftovers in sealed plastic containers, or in the original packaging, to reduce pest damage to your food. Clean your refrigerator and pantry regularly with a disinfectant. You should be discarding expired food regularly. If possible, invest in plastic storage for your pantry, and your food will not only have less pests but stay fresh longer!
Inspect & Seal Entry Points Regularly
Inspect your home regularly for damage and repair as necessary. Pests often enter through small cracks or openings throughout the house. Seal small gaps and cracks in your home with Silicone. It’s important you replace damaged weatherstripping, which is relatively easy and affordable to DIY.
