These tips will keep your home clean and peaceful.

KEEP COCKROACHES, RATS, AND ANTS AWAY

Pest treatment is very invasive and inconvinient. You can minimize the risk of  infestation. Here are some things you can do to prevent these odious creatures from invading your home.

• Empty your trashcans often and keep them clean.
• Clean up crumbs from counters and floors daily, including spilled pet food.
• Sweep daily.
• Vacuum frequently.
• Make sure food is not left in sink strainers.
• Run the garbage disposal frequently.
• Keep food (including pet food) sealed in airtight containers.
• Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
• Keep appliances clean of food and grease.
• Clean out clutter, especially cardboard.
• Use plastic storage boxes rather than cardboard when possible.
• Store soap out of reach.
• Don’t leave pet food out in bowls overnight.
• Dry all sinks, tubs, and showers before bed each night.
• Use a dehumidifier in your home if you aren’t allowing enough ventilation and trapping moisture from hot showers.

Do remember, if one home is infected, all the homes will be infected.
