Nothing is better than opening the windows on a beautiful spring day. However, warmer temperatures also bring an increased risk of pests entering your home. As a leading exterminator serving the Cincinnati, OH, area, the team from Select Pest Control has some insider secrets to help you keep critters out.

This year, incorporate these tips into your spring cleaning regimen to keep carpenter ants, bees, and rodents out of your house:

  • Freshen Up Your Pantry: Pests are smart. Once they find a food source, they won’t want to leave. One of the best ways to bug-proof your home is to clean up any crumbs lurking in the corners of your pantry. While you’re there, make sure you don’t have any open cereal boxes or food packages. Instead, store grains and snacks in sealed plastic containers.

  • Upgrade Your Garbage Cans: All too often, exterminators get calls about pests which consistently find their way into garages, sheds, and even kitchens. In many cases, a homeowner’s garbage is to blame. Unless you’re storing garbage bags in sealed cans, the odor could be attracting intruders. For preventative pest control, make sure all of your garbage cans have lids.
  • Address Any Moisture: If you discover any lingering moisture in any area of your home during your spring cleaning, address the cause of the problem right away. Rooms with high moisture levels are more prone to pests. Repair any leaks you find, and after particularly wet cleaning activities such as mopping, dry all surfaces completely.

If you find there’s a pest problem in your home while cleaning this spring, call the helpful exterminators from Select Pest Control at (513) 352-0080. You can also visit their website for more information on their pest control services.
