National Pest Management Association (NPMA) promotes National Pest Management Month, recognizing the pest management industry's commitment to protecting public health and property from common household pests.
During April, homeowners are encouraged to pest-proof their homes in preparation for the upcoming pest season. NPMA experts recommend the following tips:
1) Seal cracks and holes outside the home, including entry points for utilities and pipes.
2) Repair fascia and rotted roof shingles.
3) Replace weather-stripping and repair loose mortar around the foundation and windows.
4) Keep tree branches and shrubbery well-trimmed away from the house.
5) Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house and five inches off the ground.
6) Eliminate sources of standing water around the house, including birdbaths and clogged gutters.
7) Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well-ventilated and dry.
8) Keep kitchen counters clean and store food in sealed containers.
9) Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.
10) Avoid leaving pet food dishes out for long periods.
"As the weather continues to get warmer, pests will begin to emerge from their overwintering sites and look for food indoors. National Pest Management Month comes at the perfect time to make pest-proofing a priority to prevent an infestation during the spring and summer seasons," adds Henriksen.
