Home Pest Prevention
- Cockroaches and flies are especially attracted to fruit and vegetables, so don't leave any out.
- Put meats and dairy in the fridge to avoid spoiling and attracting flies. Keep all cereals and crackers in sealed bags.
- ;Mosquitoes ;lay their eggs on the water's surface, so don't provide them with any opportunities to procreate!
- Pour a little diluted bleach in the bottom to kill germs and nix ordors.
- This will prevent flies, mosquitos, and other pests from infiltrating your home during the summer months.
- Ants are especially adept at seeping in through the cracks, so make sure you don't have any!
- Cockroaches and other vermin are attracted to damp, dark places and are often found in these locations.
- Flies are repelled by citrus fruits, pine boughs and basil. Cockroaches loathe cedar and catnip. Have some of these on hand to keep critters at bay. Cats and dogs are also great (and free) pest control.
Don't let pests invade your home. Take the proper precautions with our Home Pest Prevention Checklist and keep vermin at bay.
