Prevention Tips
Here are a few easy steps you can take right now to stop pests and carpenter ants from invading your home:
- Pest Tips
- Seal cracks in your home?s exterior to help keep pests like ants, spiders and cockroaches from getting inside.
- Be sure all doors and windows are properly sealed with tight-fitting screens and weather stripping.
- Don?t leave uncovered food sitting out. It can attract flies that might land on it and spread harmful bacteria.
- Consider storing clothing in plastic boxes or pouches to prevent fabric pests from getting to them.
- Ensure that the attic and crawl space have sufficient ventilation. Proper ventilation creates an environment unsuitable for cockroaches and other pests. It also improves the heating and cooling efficiency of the home.
- Do not allow pet food to sit out overnight, indoors or outdoors.
Remove any piles of debris, stones, bricks, etc., around your home. They serve as a harborage for pests, especially rodents.
Carpenter Ants
- Store any firewood away from your home and remove any dead wood or wood scraps from around the foundation.
- Trim dead limbs from trees and remove stumps. Rid your yard of these potential nesting sites.
- Make sure that all plumbing or roof leaks are sealed, and check crawl spaces for excess moisture.
- Water from rain gutters should be directed away from your home and not be allowed to accumulate close to the foundation.
