How Are Pests Getting in My Home?
First off, it’s important to have a clutter-free and clean home. Be sure to check any areas that could be used as a hideout for ants, mosquitos, cockroaches, spiders, wasps and bees, and mice and rats.
Your home’s countertops should be free of dishes, food, and any appliances where pests can hide. Cover any open food and store it in a safe place. If you have children, ensure their crib/mattress and toys are protected and stored in a safe place as well. Please keep in mind, children tend to put objects in their mouths, often without the parent(s) knowing.
Mopping and scrubbing any tile or hardwood surfaces never hurts, and can help rid of any pest eggs. Same goes for vacuuming; get rid of any pest eggs before your home is serviced to avoid unexpected and additional services after the fact!
