The Holiday Wrap-Up
The hustle of Christmas shopping and New Year countdowns is behind us. As you entertain guests this season, make sure your home stays protected from unwanted pests. Rose Pest Solutions is here to ensure you’re prepared to enjoy the season pest free.
Avoiding Seasonal Pests
Hopefully, you made it through the holidays without bringing unwanted pests into your home along with your pine decorations. As you pack up and prepare for colder weather, now is the perfect time to pest-proof your home. To help you get it right, Rose Pest Solutions shares these essential tips from the National Pest Management Association (NPMA):
- Store your holiday decorations properly: Boxes and bins can become cozy hiding spots for pests, so make sure to seal all decorations in tight, impenetrable containers until next season.
- Keep your kitchen clean: Pests are attracted to food, so make it a habit to wipe down surfaces regularly and store all food in sealed containers to prevent drawing pests into your home.
- Seal any gaps: Pests can squeeze through small cracks or crevices, so it’s essential to use materials like caulk to seal any entry points and keep your home pest free.
- Store firewood properly: Woodpiles can attract pests, so keep them at least 20 feet away from your home and carefully inspect them before bringing any wood indoors.
- Be mindful of the home’s exterior: Clear away any debris or leaves near your home, as they can provide shelter for pests or create standing water sources where pests can drink.
- Partner with Rose Pest Solutions for proper, ongoing maintenance.
