A-2 Beverlywood PEST Control

Flies found inside a building have entered from the outside in almost all cases. Therefore, barriers preventing access to the building are the first line of defense.

Fixing leaky faucets is a lot easier than you might think and, like sealing up cracks, it’s an insect-control measure that’s good for your wallet and for the planet.

Fleas in the carpet? The carpet should be thoroughly vacuumed especially in low traffic areas, under furniture, etc.

Clean soiled mattress fabric with steam or upholstery shampoo.

Make sure your crawlspace door and all other doors and windows are tight.

Rinse and clean dishes, pots and pans daily. Store your food properly in original containers, plastic containers, refrigerator, etc.

Clear your surrounding. Dead wood near the your property such as stumps, railroad ties and logs can attract wood-destroying organisms such as Carpenter Ants and Termites.

As with most problems, prevention is key. Bugs creeping and crawling all over your home is a big no thank you.

Raccoons can be pesky, tenacious animals that could cause problems. Sometimes, the answer is as simple as clearing the area of any possible food sources.

Clean, organize and declutter cupboards, closets, and storage units.

If you're using the barbeque, throw a bit of sage or rosemary on the coals to repel mosquitos.

Eliminate all possible food sources by securing garbage cans with a bungee strap, ratchet strap or latch.

Keep books, stuffed animals, throw rugs and laundry hampers out of the bedroom of allergy sufferers. Wash stuffed animals occasionally in hot water.
