Summer is here – bringing sunshine, barbecues, and backyard fun. But while you’re soaking up the season, pests are becoming more active and searching for ways to invade your home and yard.

As temperatures climb, insects and rodents seek out food, water, and shelter – often right where you least want them. Don’t let pests crash your summer. Use these simple, effective tips to keep your space protected all season long.

Eliminate Standing Water

Mosquitoes can breed in even the smallest pools of water. To keep them away, regularly empty and clean birdbaths, pet water bowls, clogged gutters, and drain trays.

Seal Up Entry Points

When it’s scorching outside, pests like ants, roaches, and mice look for cool, sheltered places – often indoors. Keep them out by sealing cracks around doors/windows, installing weather stripping, and repairing damaged window screens

Trim Back Landscaping

Overgrown plants give pests the perfect place to hide and sneak into your home. Stay ahead by trimming shrubs and trees, clearing out leaf litter, and regularly edging around structures.

Check What You Bring Inside

Summer means more trips in and out of the house. Always inspect items for hitchhiking pests before bringing them inside – especially grocery bags, pool or camping gear, and packages.

Manage Trash & Food Scraps

Summer heat speeds up food spoilage and attracts flies, rodents, and more. Keep your outdoor areas clean by sealing trash bins, rinsing recyclables, and avoiding leftover food or pet dishes sitting outside.
