Spring Cleaning And Pests

Spring is just around the corner, literally only weeks away, and as your thawing out from winter by enjoying longer days, sunshine, and blossoming flowers, so too are flies, bees, wasps, and more. Pests that have been lying dormant during the winter months are going to become pesky again with the warmer weather. Many pests aren’t simply “pesky” though, they can be dangerous. Spring cleaning is a great chance to prevent against pest infestations, so start preparing now.

How to Plan to Prevent Pests

Take the following steps while spring cleaning your home to help prevent pest problems:

• Seal all interior and exterior holes, cracks, and other openings in and around your home.
• Don’t feed your pets outdoors and store their food at night.
• Clean all ventilation systems and keep them running.
• Wash dirty dishes, wipe down tables and counters, and remove trash daily to eliminate leftover food and crumbs.
• To clean your pantry, remove products that have been sitting on the shelves for several months. Wipe down shelves with a clean cloth and sweep the pantry floor. Make sure all food containers and non-perishables are in tightly sealed containers.
• Vacuum all floors and carpets regularly.
• Vacuum up spiders, spider webs, and other pests and debris.
