Inspect Your Home For Insects!

Why You Should Regularly Check The Walls In Your Home
While you may not think about the walls in your home on a regular basis, you should start checking them since cracks and holes in your wall can give pests an opportunity to enter your home!

Cracks and holes in your wall are unattractive to us, but they are attractive to pests since this is an easy way for them to make their way inside. Fixing cracks and holes is fairly easy, and all you will need is some spackle and a putty knife to fix small holes and cracks.

To cover the holes, place the spackle on the hole or crack and smooth it out onto the area. When the spackle has covered the area, wait for it to dry, and then you can paint over it to conceal the spackle. This task is fairly easy, so you can complete it when you have time.

Why You Need To Get Rid Of Cardboard Boxes In Your Home
Chances are, you probably have several cardboard boxes that are scattered across your home and garage, but it’s a good idea to switch to plastic boxes to prevent pests from attacking your home!

If you store your items in cardboard boxes, then pests like rodents can have a chance to chew through the boxes and get to your valuable items. Cockroaches also love to hide inside of cardboard boxes, so it’s a good idea to switch to plastic.

It’s also important to have plastic boxes inside of your kitchen so that you can protect your food. If you have a serious pest problem in your kitchen, then keeping your food in airtight plastic containers can keep your food safe from pests, and it can also keep your food fresh for longer.
