Clear Food Away Properly

At Genie Pest Control, we advise all of our clients to clear food away correctly. From leftovers to keeping your floors and countertops crumb-free and storing your food correctly, there is a lot that you can do to make your Omaha or Iowa home less attractive to pests. Keeping your kitchen spotlessly clean will help to keep insects at bay in your home this summer.

Watch Your Waste

Keeping an eye on your indoor and outdoor bins is essential in keeping pests away from your home. Your bins are a prime target for many different insects and pests that might be seeking nourishment. Empty your indoor bins regularly and always use a bin with a tight-fitting lid. Outdoor bins should be sealed completely, and if there are any spills or debris, taking quick action to clean these up is a must. Keeping your bins clean will help to keep pests away!

Deal With Damp

Many pests thrive in warm, dark, moist conditions and actively seek out these types of environments. In the summer, it’s important to keep your home well-ventilated to prevent moisture from building up and creating the perfect environment for an infestation to break out. Our residential exterminators and pest removal experts at Genie pest Control advise that you address any existing water or damp issues as soon as possible and do everything you can to keep your home as dry as possible throughout the summer months.

Pay Attention To Your Outdoor Spaces

Maintaining a neat and tidy backyard makes it much more difficult for insects to hide near your home and make their way inside. Be sure to keep your grass cut low, keep firewood and mulch away from your home and if you have fruit trees, be sure to clear up fallen fruits before they attract rodents and other pests to your property. Finally, make sure that you trim back any overhanging branches or bushes near the walls or roof of your home that insects and pests could use to gain access to your property.
