Spring Checklist

As the snow melts away and warmer weather moves in, we all spring into action, including those pesky, unwanted intruders!
If you’re looking for a way to prevent some of those intruders from entering your home, try hitting some or even ALL of our points on our Spring Ahead Cleaning Checklist below and have a happy and hopefully pest-free spring season.
Spring Checklist
Check your roof (or hire a professional to check) for any leaks
Sweep up cobwebs and clean out nooks and crannies where spiders and other insects may dwell
Repair any screen damage before opening those windows and screen doors to let in that spring air (You probably don’t want to let insects in as well!)
Check for gaps around windows and doors
Clear and replace old mulch
Check for evidence of moisture or condensation around plumbing or windows
Make sure garbage containers are properly sealed and stored
Clear old shrubbery away from the home
Clean out gutters
Clean out pantries and around appliances in the kitchen to pick up any food debris
Check to make sure pet food is stored in sealed containers
Clean out any unneeded clutter in storage areas where pests can hide
Check your yard and eliminate sources of standing water
Keep moisture down by making use of a dehumidifier in your basement
Call your pest management company to inspect for any potential problems
