Summertime in Southern California is just about perfect – we love to hit the beach whenever we can, enjoy the balmy days and nights, and take advantage of the long, summer days.
Unfortunately, there are some pests that are enjoying the summer season just as much as we are – ants, spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish. This is prime time for them to build nests and breed. While you enjoy the beach, you may come back to a home with a lot more critters running around.
Here are my suggestions for keeping summer pests under control:
- Get rid of any piles of debris from your yard – this includes lumber, firewood, or even bricks. All provide great nesting places for pests, especially ants;
- Watch your sprinkler system – redirect your sprinkler heads if necessary so they don’t spray on your house foundation;
- Seal cracks in the house exterior;
- Keep garden mulch low – less than 2 inches thick. Keep it away from your house foundation;
- Put screens on foundation and attic vents;
These are some of the simple ways you can control pests. Give me a call and I’ll help you determine if you have a pest infestation and give you more ideas of how we can control it, so you’ll have a pest free summer, or go to www.accuracypluscalifornia.com for more information.
