While we all know the best way to keep your Wichita home pest free is by having regularly scheduled services by All Star Pest Control, there are a few things you can do in the meantime to keep the pests away in between services.
1 . Keep floors vacuumed and picked up. While this might seem simple, it can have a big impact. My vacuuming and picking up regularly, you disrupt any places that pests might try to make their home. Moving anything from blankets to furniture and cleaning tells pests that this is not a safe home for them, and they need to find somewhere else to live.
2 . Store wood away from your home. Pests love to make cozy homes inside of wood piles, and the closer those wood piles are to your home, the easier it is for pests to sneak inside. If you are storing wood, try storing it away from your home, raised off of the ground.
3 . Don’t allow standing water. Pests are attracted to water, and the longer it’s standing the happier they are to make it a swim party. Always empty out your sink after doing dishes and pour the mop bucket out once the floors are clean.
4 . Keep your windows and doors shut as much as possible, even if you have screens! Pests come in all shapes and sizes and can be faster than you think. Try to keep entrances shut as much as possible.
5 . Keep your eyes open for activity. If you see mouse droppings or dead pests, don’t hesitate to get All Star Pest Control a call and get on our schedule. You don’t want to wait and regret not calling.
