5 Ways to prevent and control insects in your home
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on Telegram

Insects can literally be ‘pests’. Seeings insects forming clusters in the kitchen or chewing up furniture in the living room can really be a huge bother. Most insects are attracted to food crumbs, dirt, decayed food, old furniture, and more. Check out these few tips to prevent them from infesting your home.

Clean the floor daily. Whether you choose to sweep or vacuum, clean the floor daily. Food and residue need to be removed quickly so that bugs won’t be attracted to the mess. Missing a day may be just enough to attract some unwanted visitors to an unintended feast.

5 DIY Home Cleaning Tips That Professional Cleaners Use
Tackle spills quickly. Just as your messy floor can become an invitation to pests, spilled areas throughout the kitchen can beckon to bugs. Be sure to move furniture and appliances to be sure all the residue of a spill has been cleaned.

How To Store Everything in the Kitchen
Wash dishes. Waiting to wash the dishes isn’t a great idea. Even soaking dishes can be an attraction for bugs if they are left for an extended period of time. When dishes are washed, be sure to drain any dishwater, and wipe down the sink. Wipe down bottles. After a bottle or jar has been used, be sure to wipe down the outside of the bottle and the lid. Residue on your honey, syrup, oil, and peanut butter containers can be a big attraction to bugs.

Clear the drain. Be sure that any slow-moving drains are cleared and cleaned. Many bugs come indoors searching for water. Be sure to repair any leaky sinks and drains in your home.

 

Store food properly. Bugs can get into all but the most tightly sealed packaging. Be sure to store items in the pantry in containers that properly seal. Consider removing many of your dry goods like sugars, flours, and bulk mixes in airtight containers. Even more frequently used items like cereal, pasta, and pet foods should be in containers that are fully resealable.

Watch out for fruits and vegetables. Of course, fresh fruits and vegetables are great for our nutrition, but they can be a pain in the pantry if they are anywhere near spoiling. Use or throw out fruits and vegetables that are past their prime. Those ripe fresh foods will attract ants, fruit flies, and many other pests.

Tips for Properly Storing Your Winter Clothes
Clean clothes before storing. Clothes that are dirty will attract bugs. So before throwing all the winter coats into the back of your closet, take the time to have them dry cleaned or washed before being stored. Storing clothes in properly sealed containers will also go a long way towards preventing an infestation.

Clean out the recyclables. Be sure to rinse out plastic, glass, and metal containers that are being recycled.

Clean garbage containers. Washing down the insides and outsides of your trash and recycling containers is a monthly job. We find it easiest to do this chore outside with a garden hose and a long-handled scrub brush. Put a lid on your trash. Lids on trash will keep bugs out, keep smells in, and keep infestations away. Choose bins and buckets with lids when shopping for garbage and recycling containers.

Prune foliage near the house. Bushes, trees, and shrubs, and even flowerbeds that touch your home can help provide additional entry points for bugs. Trim back these items to reduce the risk of an infestation.
Drain stagnant water. Stagnant water breeds mosquitoes, ants, and can as well be breeding grounds for bugs. Fill in or remove places that might fill up with rainwater. For birdbaths, consider draining and refilling weekly to prevent pests.
