August and September are a fun and odd time of the year. It’s not quite cool enough to run a wood burning stove, but it’s the perfect time of year to have a fire in the backyard! Either way, it’s the perfect time to stock up on firewood! However, if you’re stocking up, make sure to not only keep the wood off the ground, but also a bit away from your house. The reason for storing your wood like this is to keep your home free of rats! Rats love to make themselves a nest in wood piles, but taking precautions can stop that! However, if last year’s stock didn’t follow those guidelines, never fear. All Star Pest Control is happy to help you rid your home of present pests and safeguard it against future ones!
