Our best advice? Keep it clean!
- Regularly clean and pick up items on porches, yards, in the garage, and in the house. Pests love to hide and lay eggs in the debris that sits around.
- Empty standing water from buckets or dishes after rainstorms. If you have a pool, use pool circulation tools to keep water moving. If no circulation is available, empty standing water regularly to keep mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water.
- Manicure lawns and keep landscaping away from the house, so there isn’t easy access to your home.
- Keep an eye on your gutters – moisture and debris can build up in a gutter and give cockroaches and mosquitoes a perfect home. Clear any blockages as soon as you find them and inspect them regularly.
- Clear food after outdoor parties to remove any food sources for pests. Inside, keep food in airtight containers.
