BUG PROOFING YOUR HOME
| Posted on September 7, 2011 at 6:57 PM |
BUG PROOFING TIPS Here are a few tips to keep them at bay: * Eliminate their food supply, including water. - Clean up excess and spilled pet
food daily. - Remove crumbs from behind stove
and between cabinets with a vacuum hose. - Wash dishes immediately. - Keep leftovers in tightly sealed
containers. - Take trash out nightly in tightly
sealed receptacles. - Fix leaking pipes. - Drain sinks, since standing water
will attract thirsty roaches. - Keep all drains plugged
when not in use. * Seal all cracks and gaps in your home’s exterior. - Caulk around cracks in water
pipes. - Screen vents in attics and
crawlspaces. - Use fine-mesh screening and duct
tape to seal off holes around your home.
* Add weather stripping to doors, and clear caulk to seal the joint where the
doorframe meets the wall.
* Install a sturdy aluminum threshold under your door. Add a door sweep to
close the gap even tighter.
* Keep trees near your house well-trimmed. Branches and leaves make a perfect
bridge to the inside of your home for bugs. *Remove all natural pest and rodent habitats within
10 feet of your home, including tall grass, foliage, piles of straw and/or
leaves, wooden crates and patio rugs. |
