Winter and holidays are all fun and games, until pests decide to invite themselves to the party! In order to avoid pests making their way in for the holidays, follow these tips:
- Do not pile discarded live trees or cut firewood near your home. If you do, it can attract mice, termites and other pests. Store these on a raised structure and at least 20 feet from the home. Before moving the firewood into your house, inspect it for signs of pest activity.
- When it comes to Christmas decorations, make sure to store them in plastic storage bins with tight fitting lids. When you unbox them, inspect lights to make sure the wiring hasn’t been frayed by pests.
- As for food, make sure that the packaged food items don’t have any holes or bite marks in the packaging. As for fresh food, make sure your leftovers are stored in sealed containers and crumbs are cleaned up.
