What are some tips for
preventing
pests or insects from invading the home? |
“Make sure your house is
secure and its doors and
windows fit tightly without noticeable gaps.
Store
fire-wood as far away
from your house as possible,
and bring in only what you will burn."
|
“Keep foliage, greenery and
shrubs
from touching the house. Also,
consider using crushed stone
instead of mulch,
which harbors
insects because it retains
moisture.”
|
“Maintain your home.
Moisture problems — a leaky roof, door
gutter or window — will attract insects.” |
Describe the worst insect or pest
infestation you’ve ever encountered. |
“One house was so bad that
when I opened the door,
cockroaches fell on my head
and body. In a situation like
that, the people carry
roaches to work, school,
restaurants, etc.”
|
“We don’t like the bad flea
infestations because we get
attacked when we go in.
The worst is when we treat empty
rental properties and fleas
haven’t eaten in
a long time
and attack when we walk in.”
|
“It’s hard to say which is
the worst — a house full
of German cockroaches,
yellow jackets or fleas.
I think my least favorite
would have to be cockroaches.”
