As we welcome in the New Year, consider making a resolution to take actions that will help keep bugs outside and your family safe inside. A few simple steps can help keep pests under control and reduce their motivation for making themselves at home in yours. Check out these simple steps from the National Pest Management Association that help prevent pest problems:
1) Seal cracks and holes on the outside of your home that offer easy access to many pests
2) Keep branches well-trimmed so they don’t reach too close to the home
3) Make sure basements, attics, and crawl spaces are well-ventilated and dry
4) Store garbage in a sealed container and dispose of it regularly
