What about the bugs you don’t see?

You come home from work one afternoon to see an ant on your kitchen counter and you think to yourself, well it’s only one ant. The fact is that is a scout ant and if she finds any food she will run back quicker than you can say “pesticide”. If that ant makes it way back to the nest or maybe even to another worker, they will spread the news – go to this house and now they have food! How about if that ant is a cockroach, well the fact is – it really doesn’t matter. Pest are pest and they will take up home within your home if it suits them. If you generally see one there will be more that are hidden away from your eyes.

What can you do to keep those little pest from getting into your home?

1. When you bring home items from the grocery store, inspect and take the boxes to the trash.
2. Place items into sealed containers, I like to freeze some products then into those containers.
3. Don’t leave dog/cat food out overnight.
4. Keep your kitchen tidy.
5. If you notice a pest immediately do some checking, maybe check the pantry or where you keep the dog/cat food.
