It's starting to get warmer! Finally! Spring time definitely has it perks like warmer weather and sunshine, although it brings along pests. The beginning of spring means pollen, bugs, weather changes, and more. These tips are here to help prepare you and your home or business for the issues certain to arise within or around. Whether or not a professional pest control service is in place, these tips are measures to help start preparing for spring time pests and all they will bring.
SC's Most Common Springtime Pests:
1. Clean and keep clean- Majority of pests come into your home or business looking for 3 life sustaining things: food, water, and shelter. By cleaning and keeping areas and surfaces clean, you prevent those insects from being attracted to the inside of your property.
2. Store food and dispose of waste - While this may seem simple and obvious, it can never be over emphasized how much pests, like all of us, love food, and need it to survive. When given the opportunity, pests are doing everything they can to find something to snack and survive on. Storing and disposing of food properly leaves nothing behind for them to feed on, therefore, less of a chance to infest your property.
3. Moisture control & water in the crawl space -It doesn't take a huge sum of water, or leak from your home to attract common spring pests. Water is needed for these pests to survive, and high moisture and humidity helps them reproduce. That's exactly what we don't want.
Things to help:
-Keep gutters clear of standing water and debris
-Keep crawlspace and basements well ventilated and dry
-Remove standing water, while inspecting for high moisture on the inside and outside of your home often
