SUMMER is a time when pests run rampant, so pest control during this spring season should be top priority! Luke from Luke’s termite and pest control understands that we live in an area of natural beauty but this also means taking a little time to be pest ready in the Glasshouse region. Some useful tips to reduce the number of pests inside your home are:
• Seal up gaps and cracks: Pests come into your home or business through small openings in your foundation, windows, doors and walls. Seal these gaps as much as possible.
• Remove moisture: Reduce any waste water you have around your property to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
• Store food in durable air tight containers: Avoid leaving open containers or pet food around after meals. Since rodents can eat through cardboard boxes,
you might want to invest in plastic or glass containers to protect your food supply.
• Clean up after meals, pet meals and bbqs: food sources around your home the less pests will be attracted.

These creatures can become pests and cause health concerns as well as give you a big fright when you or the grandkids stumble upon them!
Another often-ignored
aspect to do with trees is home security, which can be jeopardised by trees that block sight and access and create a dark vibe around the house, so it’s important to remove intrusive trees to ensure clear views to all areas of the property from any vantage point.
If you’re planning some outdoor renovation projects during Spring, such as plumbing, drainage, landscaping, or putting in a pool, then it might be worth talking to a tree company to
