Nashville, Murfreesboro and Mt. Juliet TN
The clocks have been set forward, the days are longer, and warmer weather is upon us. Spring is in full swing, which usually means unwanted pests in and around your home or business. Here are some helpful tips for spring-cleaning to help prevent and get rid of pests this season.
S – Seal up cracks and crevasses around windows and doors
Small openings around these areas are an easy access point for pests, including spiders, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish. During the spring months, when we receive a fair amount of rain, it can drive pests to look for shelter and food inside your home or business.
P – Pick up and store pet food
Leaving your pet’s food dish (or open container) out is an open invitation for pests. Ants and cockroaches, especially, will eat your pet’s food, or just about anything for that matter. Be sure to put away your pet’s food once they are done eating.
R – Remove old food
No one really likes to “waste” food but resist the urge to store containers of food for more than a few months. Any food items in which the seal has been broken should not be left in the cabinet for longer than three months to prevent pests in your food.
I – Inspect and sweep corners
Use a broom to sweep corners of the floor and ceiling to remove cobwebs and spiders. If you have spiders present in your home, you most likely have what they eat, bugs!
N – Never leave the dishes till morning
Crumbs and dirty dishes in the sink are a feeding ground for pests. Although you have enough on your to-do list for the day, don’t go to bed before you wipe down your counters and do the dishes. Go a step further and sweep the floors to ensure no crumbs are left behind.
