3 Good Habits To Help Prevent Pests

With the start of a new year comes many new year resolutions. Whether you're trying to become tidier or have a project you're wanting to complete, this year is all about starting fresh!  One thing we know as pest control experts is that it's a lot easier to keep pests out than it is to get them out once they're in. That's why our team here at Best Home & Property Service is here to help you get a fresh start to preventing pests with three good habits to help you prevent pests in your home this year. 

Staying Tidy

Keeping food properly stored away, counters and floors clean, and the trash taken out regularly (and secured - like in an outdoor trash can) is key to preventing pests in your home. Pests are always looking for their next meal and place to call home so eliminating a source of food/water and shelter decreases your chances of having a pest problem. 

Remove Outdoor Debris + Standing Water

If you've got a yard full of leaves and debris, you're giving pests plenty of space to hide while they try to figure out how to make their way inside! Outdoor debris and standing water are attractive to pests who are still looking for a place to call home this season. By removing extra yard debris and standing water can help prevent a future pest problem. 

Keep Up With Routine Pest Control

While many homeowners may think they don't need any pest control services during the colder months, this couldn't be further from the truth! Many pests are still active throughout the winter and routine pest control is the best way to ensure your home is pest-free this season!
