WAYS HOMEOWNERS CAN PREPARE
FOR SUMMER PESTS
A s we quickly approach warmer months, homeown- ers are getting ready for their summertime favorites, includ- ing spending more time outdoors and entertaining with backyard bar- becues. However, they should be on guard from uninvited house guests:
pests.
Pests, like spiders and ants, are of- ten considered to be just a nuisance, but some can pose a threat to your property. According to Ground- works, spiders, carpenter ants and cockroaches are among the biggest pest threats homeowners face.
While pests can find their way into homes year-round, some seasons are worse than others. According to re- search from the University of Wash- ington, outside of the tropics, insects reproduce at higher rates in warmer weather, so you’ll see more bugs during spring and summer.
Don’t wait for pest problems to crop up at your home and ruin the summertime fun. Follow these five steps to protect your home and fam- ily from pests.
roaches are small and crafty, and are able to enter your home through tiny cracks, gaps and holes. Make it harder for bugs to get in by sealing up entry points with caulk or weather
stripping in your home’s walls, doors and windows. Don’t forget to inspect areas where pipes and wires enter your home and seal any entry points you find.
TAKE A PROACTIVE APPROACH
Before you have a major summer- time pest problem on your hands, take a proactive approach by having a lineup of products at the ready like insecticides, traps and repellents.
There are a variety of pest con- trol products available depending on your specific pest needs. For example, Raid Essentials offers a complete line of products to target specific insects with plant-based ingredients. Whether you’re deal- ing with ants, roaches, house flies, mosquitoes or spiders, you can rest assured that you’re using products

Next to being absolutely gorgeous, wood flooring is also very low maintenance and a more environmentally-friendly product than vinyl.
It is also a lot cleaner than carpet and other porous floors. Thereisnowaxingorbuffingandwe recommend the Bona Kemi line of wood floor cleaners, available at our showroom. ALOHA!
