Even though summer is starting off on a different foot than anticipated, we still need to find ways to enjoy it! However, you still need to prevent pests while enjoying summer. Here are 5 ways to enjoy your summer and prevent pests:

  1. We all like having fresh air, especially at night! If you open doors and windows, make sure you invest in screens! These make it harder for larger pests to join you indoors but still allow you to have the fresh, cool air you’re wanting.
  2. If you aren’t sure what precautions have been taken on your home already, have All Star Pest Control do preventative treatment. This is customized to your home and gives you a head start against any pests that might be trying to spend time with you and your family.
  3. Clean up after your delicious summer meals. We all love some watermelon, sweet drinks, and all around summer goodness. However these can make big messes when they’re being devoured and leave sweet and sticky residue pests are attracted to. Make sure you clean up all food to prevent pests from having an after party.
  4. Keep your plants trimmed and cleaned out. Plants bloom and die throughout spring, summer, and fall at various times. It’s important to keep your flower beds cleaned out and trimmed up. This decreased the places that pests can hide before they sneak into your open doors and windows. A clean garden gives you a clean home.
  5. Keep track of what you’re tracking in. As you’re doing yard work, you’re bound to get seeds, weeds, and dirt all over you. You’re also bound to get pests hiding in those and trying to get a trip into your house. Make sure you’re not bringing any unwanted friends in after your hard day’s work!
