Spring
Prevention Tips
Warmer Temperature Brings on New Pests
After Winter comes to Spring. With the extremely cold temperatures of winter over and done with, and the warm rays of sunlight begins to shine everywhere, pests crawl out of hibernation to begin their search for food and their new summer home.
Follow these simple steps to protect your home this spring
- Water puddles leftover from melted and thawing snow is characteristics of Spring in many parts of the world. A continuous source of stagnant water can be a very inviting habitat and breeding space for a host of pests. . Eliminating all standing water will go a long way in protecting your home from a mosquito invasion
- Untreated wood that has been left exposed since winter to the soil can be a fertile place for wood insects like carpenter ants and termites. Wood piles stacked or stored up against your wall can threaten the integrity of your structures if these pests start venturing into your walls
- All rotting or damp wood around or inside the house should be removed or replaced, paying special attention to gutters, eaves and windows
- Ensure that when plants start growing, all shrubs, flowers and mulch are kept far away from your foundation
- Fallen leaves leftover from the previous season should be cleaned up
- Placing dehumidifiers int he basement and providing proper ventilation in the attic will protect you from not only mold problems but will help to reduce the presence of insects
- Fix the gaps in your door, and ensure the screens and windows are in good repair
- Repair leaky pipes and seal up all those new access points that may allow pests through
