EMPHASIZE TIDYING UP
Keeping your home clean is a simple but effective pest preven- tative. Pests are attracted to food, water and shelter, so it’s critical to keep your home extra clean and tidy in the warmer weather to pre- vent becoming an attractive sanc- tuary for bugs.
The kitchen attracts a wide vari- ety of insects, and open or improp- erly stored food can quickly turn the kitchen into a breeding ground for bugs. Make sure your food is stored tightly in sealed containers or purchase small packages that can be used in a shorter period of time. Keep your kitchen and din- ing room free of crumbs and spills by regularly vacuuming floors and wiping down counters and tables.
Outdoors in their own territory, pests can breed undeterred, creat- ing more unwanted visitors that can invade your home. Maintain your yard so it doesn’t become a bug haven. Make sure to remove any piles of debris or yard waste

MAINTAIN YOUR YARD

where pests can hide and thrive away from prying eyes.
Trees and bushes that touch your home create bridges for ants, spiders, flies and other pests to en- ter. Make sure to trim overgrown bushes and trees regularly.
ELIMINATE STANDING WATER
Mosquitoes lay eggs in pooled water, so make sure to eliminate any sources of standing water. Inspect your home and fix leaky faucets, drains and pipes. In areas of the home that are always damp, like your basement, run a dehu- midifier.
Don’t forget to check your yard to make sure gutters flow smoothly and aren’t blocked by leaves and waste. If needed, extend downspouts farther from your home to improve drainage. Make sure empty pots, grill covers, tires and other items that can collect water are emptied regularly.
Don’t let pests keep you from en- joying your home during the warmer months. Using these five tips, you can take active steps to help prevent and eliminate pests so you can enjoy the weather without worry.
