The first step to pest prevention and control for spring is a simple inspection. Look around your home, inside and out, for any evidence of pests or places where they may be able to enter your home. If vegetation and shrubbery grew toward your home last year and you did not cut it back, it’s a good time to clean up so there are less places for pests to hide. If you see any structural issues like holes or cracks on the exterior of your home, these are good places for pests to enter, so make repair jobs a priority. 

After looking around inside and out, and working on your landscaping, turn your cleaning attention to the interior of your home. This is a good time to fully clean out your kitchen and other food storage areas, to remove any sources of nutrition for pests. Be sure that all food storage containers are clean and sealed tightly!
