Avoid Filling Containers with Standing Water

Containers, pots, barrels, trash cans, and other vessels that may hold water should be cleaned and emptied to prevent pests from inhabiting these places. If you do need to stock water for emergency purposes, then make sure to cover their containers.

Your pool, porch, and other areas in your property might collect water during rainy days. To avoid pests from reproducing in these places, make sure to drain and clean them as well.

Cleanliness is Key

A good housekeeping routine is the simplest way to avoid the infestation and reproduction of pests in your place. Make it to a point to clean your house regularly so that it will not be an appealing habitat for unwanted pests. More so, avoiding and cleaning clutter and garbage in the vicinity of your property will also be helpful in keeping pests away.
