Keep Your Home Pest-Free This Fall

October 7, 2019 John Kynor Leave a Comment

Many homes suffer from pests. If you don’t notice the signs or take care of it, an infestation can create many issues for your home. Before fall begins, learn how to keep your home pest-free.

Seal Any Holes in Windows, Doors, and Walls

Pests can get into any little crack located in windows, doors, and walls. To prevent the pests from getting in, seal up all of these areas as soon as possible. By sealing these crevices, you eliminate an entry point that you can’t keep an eye on all the time.

Install Screens

We all want to enjoy the cool fall air by an open window, but this the perfect opportunity for pests to enter your home. An excellent way to combat this is to install screens in all your windows and doors. This way, you can have fresh air come through and keep your home pest-free.   

Clean Up

It’s easy to leave food out after eating or not clean up the mess you made. However, doing so will draw all sorts of pests to your home. An easy method to keep pests away is to clean up after yourself and don’t leave food out in your home.

Cover Trash

Food naturally attracts many pests. In addition to cleaning up, you should also get a trash can with a cover. Old food that sits in an easily accessible trash can will draw bugs and racoons. There are plenty of trash cans available at local stores that can properly seal it away.

Spray Strong Scents

There are certain scents that bugs don’t like that can turn them away from your home. All you have to do is spray this scent in places like vents and garages. Some effective scents that can stop some pests include the following:

  • Peppermint
  • Rosemary
  • Lavender
  • Garlic
  • Eucalyptus
  • Citronella

Call an Exterminator

If the pest problem persists, or you have a history of infestations during the fall, call an exterminator. Try and do it before the new season begins, so they can properly pest proof your home. Exterminators know where to look, so they may find something before it becomes a major issue.
