PREPARE FOR SUMMER PEST By Brandpoint Content
As warmer months approach, pests like spiders, carpenter ants, and cockroaches can pose a threat to homes. Insects reproduce more in warmer weather, making spring and summer worse for pest problems. Homeowners can protect their home by sealing entry points, taking a proactive approach to pest control, emphasizing tidying up, maintaining the yard, and eliminating standing water to prevent mosquito breeding. Using these tips, homeowners can enjoy their home during the warmer months without worrying about pests.
