There is plenty of action that you can take to prevent pests from entering into your Wichita home and staying. We have gathered together our top 5 tips and tricks to keep your home pest free:
Ensure food is covered. With all of the holidays coming up, it’s easy to leave food out for the grazers in the family! However, pests are likely to smell that food and try inviting themselves into your Wichita home to munch on the crumbs. Do yourself and your guests a favor and keep the food covered so it stays fresh and untampered.
Reduce pest hiding spots in your Wichita home. Around the holidays things literally get piled up. Whether it’s a ton of blankets in the guest room, your kids’ homework in the corner, the piles add up and the pests sneak inside to stay warm. In order to keep your Wichita home pest free, reduce or remove any hiding spots that might be tempting for them!
Don’t store wood near your Wichita home. Many people with wood fireplaces store the food right next to their home for convenience. However, keeping the wood next to your Wichita home also keeps pests right there along with it. Just like you want your wood to stay warm and dry, pests want to stay that way too! Don’t let them sneak in the backdoor when you’re grabbing a few logs and keep your wood further from your Wichita home.
Keep deer away. This might be easier said than done but it’s important to keep deer away from your Wichita home. Deer often carry pests and parasites with them in addition to attracting them with their droppings. In order to reduce the pests near your Wichita home, try to deter deer from your property as much as possible.
Clean up cluttered storage areas. We all have a corner of the garage (or half of the garage if we’re being honest) that could definitely use a lot of work. While that clutter might not seem like a main priority, it can actually be a hazard to your Wichita home as it creates a perfect place for pests to make a mini home themselves. Taking a weekend to clear out clutter will save you from needing a visit from us!
