No one wants to start out the spring season with insects in your home. Now that the weather is warming up, be proactive and prepare your house now to prevent pests from invading your home. The team of skilled exterminators at Select Pest Control offers quality pest control services in Cincinnati, eliminating bugs away before they arrive.

These expert exterminators offer these pest control tips to keep pesky insects away this spring and summer:

• Early Season Insects: Termite season begins in March, so it’s already time to protect your home. Keep mulch and items made of wood away from your home. Eliminating sources of moisture will also help stave off termites.

• Keep Food Where It Belongs: Many insects are attracted to human food, and spiders are attracted to insects. To keep both out of your home, keep food only in the kitchen, and regularly clean floors, carpet, and furniture to remove crumbs.

• Clean Out The Clutter: Spiders and other insects like dark places. Keep them away by cleaning out your closets and throwing away unneeded items. Store the items you need in clear, air-tight bins.

• Seal Cracks & Windows: Pests need to find a way into your home. Complete a thorough inspection of the inside and outside of your home for foundation cracks, holes, or broken screens. Seal any potential entryways to keep pests out. 

• Fix Leaks: Insects like centipedes, earwigs, and mosquitos love areas in the home where there is moisture. Inspect all of your facets indoors and downspouts outdoors for leaks, and fix these sources of moisture as soon as possible.

Although these tips will keep many insects away, other pest problems need the help of a trained exterminator.
