Spring Pest Prevention
With the extremely cold and long winter you would have thought all the insects and spiders would have frozen to death. That is not the case. With the warmer weather the bugs have been coming out in full force. No one wants to start their spring being invaded by insects so this is a great time to prepare your home for pest prevention. A thorough spring cleaning and pest control program is the best defense against preventing pests from entering your home.
Most pest control specialists will agree that having a clutter free environment will also protect your home from common spring bugs. Many people have been having box elder bugs, wasps, flies, ants and stink bugs invading their homes with the warmer weather. Insects are actively looking for a warm, moist place to raise their families. Making your home unattractive to these pests will be in your best interest.
