Martinez, United States - November 11, 2020 / Horne's Pest Control /

If you’ve noticed more bugs and pests around your home, you aren’t alone. Many homeowners face issues with bugs even if their homes are new and clean. There are several things you may be doing that are inviting bugs into your home without even realizing it. By cutting off the access to their food and shelter, you can deter bugs from making your home their home. The pest control pros at Horne's Pest Control are here to help by offering these tips to local homeowners. If you need pest control services in the Augusta GA area, give us a call.

  1. Leaving Food or Trash Out - The smell of food can attract bugs both inside and outside of your home. Promptly take out food trash, especially if it has started to smell. Clean out your outdoor trash cans once a month to remove food debris and odors that attract bugs. Get rid of overripe fruit, as it produces a gas that is especially attractive to fruit flies. 
  2. Leaving Outdoor Lights On - You’ve probably seen bugs swarming around street lights late at night. You can prevent this by placing security lighting further away from your home, especially away from doorways.
  3. Having Excess Yard Debris - Piles of leaves, sticks, and cut grass provide a perfect home for bugs like roaches and beetles. Make sure to bag and remove yard debris when you’re done with your yard work. 
  4. Using Cardboard Boxes - Termites, silverfish, and cockroaches love wood products like cardboard and paper. Instead, use air-tight plastic totes to store your items. 

Unfortunately, bugs still may be able to find a way into your home even if you follow all of these rules. When you need pest control services in the Augusta GA area, call Horne's Pest Control
