Pest Control Tips – From USA Today
Posted on 11. May, 2009 by admin in Do it Your Self Pest Control, Pest Control Blog, Pest Control Service
There is a good article on home pest control in USA Today that reviews a few things consumers can do to manage the pests in and around the home. All too often people that are not knowledgable just reach for a can of Raid which is not often the best policy.
A couple excerpts:
•Keep outdoor insects under control. This does not mean bombing your yard with pesticides or getting one of those bug zappers (they kill lots of beneficial insects, Antonelli says). Instead, limit outdoor breeding grounds, Miller advises. Insects love wood piles, tarps, kiddie pools (especially the moist underside) and mulch. If you must use mulch, keep the stuff at least six inches from your foundation, she says.
•Keep outside insects out. Repair screens, caulk cracks, replace inadequate weather stripping and outfit door bottoms with tight rubber sweeps. If you can, Miller says, avoid lighting up doorways at night: That attracts insects, which attract spiders, which are then happy to come inside.
