Among other things, Georgia is known for heat, humidity, and bugs. The summer bugs that we face most often are mosquitoes, roaches, ants, and flies. When your Atlanta business or home becomes overrun with pests, Monitor Pest Control can help.
Heat and Humidity
All of the most common summer bugs in Georgia are attracted to heat and humidity. These factors help them find food and reproduce. Unfortunately, Atlanta residents know that we often deal with issues related to heat and moisture – pests included.
Keep It Clean
Our number one tip for businesses and homeowners is to keep all indoor and outdoor areas clear of clutter, debris, and trash. Creepy crawlers of all kinds like to make their homes and meals in overlooked places with clutter.
In garages, attics, crawl spaces, cabinets, closets, and more:
Replace degrading cardboard boxes with plastic bins
Clean and dust shelves and surface
Remove old food and trash daily
Store food items in airtight containers
In your outdoor spaces:
Dump standing water (such as in temporary pools or toys)
Keep landscaping tidy
Trim bushes, trees, and flowers, so they are not touching your house and windows
Clear any food items as soon as possible after outdoors events
Ensure seals around doors and windows are secure
