Watch What Comes In

It’s common for there to be more movement through your home than usual, especially as you start having people over to mingle. If you are bringing in items like firewood or decorations from outside to make your home more cozy and comfortable, our professional exterminators recommend inspecting everything before it comes inside. Pests can hide and lay eggs in all places including your wood stack and decorations. Give everything a thorough shake and pay close attention to anything that you carry into your home.

Check Cardboard Boxes

Many homeowners keep their winter decorations stored away in cardboard boxes during the rest of the year. In the vast majority of cases, these boxes will go untouched for months, making them the ideal place for insects and other pests to nest. As our pest removal experts will tell you, rodents, spiders, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish all love cardboard. Before you unbox your decorations, be sure to inspect the boxes thoroughly outside before you bring them inside.

Keep The Kitchen Clean
