Winter Pest Prep – Your Guide to a Pest-Free Home
Introduction
Winter is coming, and as temperatures drop, pests start seeking warm, cozy places to hide—often in our homes. Preparing your home for winter pests is crucial in maintaining a pest-free environment. Let’s explore how you can effectively prep your home this season.
Understanding Winter Pests
Pests like rodents, spiders, and cockroaches often invade homes during winter. They are in search of food, warmth, and shelter, making your home an ideal destination.
Steps for Winter Pest Prep
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for cracks in walls, gaps around windows, and spaces under doors. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these entry points.
- Keep It Clean: Regularly clean your kitchen, dining, and storage areas. Crumbs and spills attract pests, so maintaining cleanliness can deter them.
- Store Food Properly: Keep food items sealed in airtight containers. This includes pet food, which is often overlooked.
- Trim Vegetation: Keep shrubs and tree branches trimmed back from your house. They provide bridges for pests to enter your home.
- Regular Inspections: Schedule regular pest inspections with Prodigy Pest Solutions. Our experts can identify potential problems before they become infestations.
