Top 5 DIY Pest Control Tips
Pests are a problem year-round, but with spring on the horizon, you’ll want to be prepared for increased activity. If you’re a DIYer, we have a few tips to get you started.
1. Spraying around the outside of the house is the most assured way to prevent bugs from getting in. We use a people and pet safe formula that targets the most types of insects. You’ll want to spray 3 feet up the side of the house and 3 feet out into the yard to create the best barrier.
2. Also make sure to spray your windows and doors, because that’s another way they get in.
3. Spray your weep holes as well. These holes lead directly from the outside to your walls, and pests love to go in them.
4. Sweep any cobwebs you see around your windows or under your eaves. This keeps them from trying to get inside and cleans up the appearance of the house.
5. Clean up any spills or crumbs as soon as you can and vacuum regularly. This will avoid attracting pests and prevent those that might make it past the pesticide barrier.
