(Newswire.com — August 28, 2013) District Heights, Maryland — You can have a pest problem any time of the year, especially if you are not particularly vigilant about your housekeeping duties. Some pests like ants and cockroaches are attracted to the crumbs of food that might litter your countertops or are on the dirty dishes you have stacked in your sink. Mice can also appear at any time of year, especially if they have made a nest in your house or nearby.
However, as the weather turns warmer, you will see a proliferation of bugs which can get into your home. You won’t notice much ant activity in the winter time, unless you live in a warm weather region, and you won’t see mosquitoes, flies or June bugs until the weather gets and stays warm. Cockroaches though, they can appear at any time of year because they are usually nesting in your home.
You can do several things to prevent pests from invading your house and making their home in its confines. Keeping your kitchen clean is one of the best ways to keep ants and roaches from deciding they can set-up house there. They are attracted by the scent of food, so you should always put food away when you are done with it. Clean up any crumbs on your counters and sweep them up if you find them on the floor.
Don’t let your dishes stay in the sink overnight as that can become a bug buffet. At least rinse them off and put them in the dishwasher if you don’t have the time to wash and put them away that night. Keep your floors and carpets clean and vacuum or sweep up crumbs and mop up spills right away. If you are still having a problem with bugs or rodents, you may have to call a pest control company.
