What tips do you have for
preventing pests and insects
from invading the home? |
“Proper sanitation is the key.
Pests are always looking for
food, water and shelter. If you
provide any of those, you’re
inviting them into your home.” |
“Prevent moisture inside and
outside the home, i.e. broken
downspouts or leaky faucets.
Seal windows to reduce
condensation.”
| “Store firewood away from the
house. Keep garbage outside
instead of in a garage. Keep trees
trimmed so they don’t touch
the house, and keep mulch off
of any wood siding.” |
Describe the worst insect or
pest infestation you’ve encountered. |
“I walked into an apartment that
was totally infested with roaches
— they were literally falling off
the ceiling.” |
“[Once], before I even rang
the doorbell, I could smell the
roaches inside — a combination
of urine and rotting food. When
I opened the door, roaches were
crawling in the hinges and
falling from the ceiling.”
| “I got a call from a woman last
week who said everything was
fine when she went to bed, but
in the middle of the night, a car-
penter ant nest moved into her
bedroom. She woke up to more
than 7,000 ants crawling around.” |
