ADVICE
FOR A SPACE
WITHOUT BUGS.
Rodents like mice and rats can slip through openings as small as a coin. To keep them out, regularly inspect your home, paying close attention to the foundation, windows, and doors, and seal any gaps you find. Store food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs and leftovers promptly to avoid attracting them. Ensure outdoor garbage bins are tightly closed and positioned away from the house. Maintaining your garden by trimming tall grass and removing woodpiles can further reduce the chances of rodents taking up residence near your home.
Wasps are attracted to sweet foods and drinks. Keep all food covered when dining outdoors and clean up spills immediately. Ensure garbage bins have tight-fitting lids and are emptied regularly.
Plant wasp-repelling herbs like mint, eucalyptus, or citronella around your terrace. Avoid leaving standing water, as wasps need water sources. If you notice wasp nests forming, contact a professional for safe removal.
Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water. Check your property weekly for water accumulation in flower pots, bird baths, gutters, and any containers. Empty or treat these areas promptly.
Keep grass cut short and trim overgrown vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day. Install or repair window and door screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Consider using outdoor fans on patios, as mosquitoes are weak fliers.
Ants are attracted to food and moisture. Wipe down counters daily, sweep floors regularly, and don't leave dirty dishes in the sink. Store pantry items in airtight containers, especially sweet foods.
Fix leaky pipes and faucets to eliminate water sources. Seal cracks and crevices around windows, doors, and foundations with caulk. Keep tree branches and shrubs trimmed away from your home to prevent ant highways into your house.
