Realtor posted an article recently mentioning that every room needs its own form of rodent control and it’s very true!
The gaps, opening and needs vary from room to room so the suggestions for protection differ a bit. According to the article, here are some common-sense steps to take to hinder insects or rodents from invading:
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Check the expiration dates of cereal and other dried food items, and discard expired items to prevent infestations.
- Keep your counters and floors clean and crumb-free.
- Regularly empty garbage cans.
- Deep-clean underneath appliances to remove dust and crumbs that may have fallen.
- Check for leaky sinks to deter pests seeking moisture.
- Inspect boxes, bags, and other grocery carriers thoroughly for signs of pests before bringing them in.
