Healthy Home Series: Keep It Pest Free
This month the Environmental Stewardship Committee’s healthy home series is bringing awareness to keeping your home pest-free. 1. Make seasonal checks Check your homes for areas that may be susceptible to entry by tiny animals. Even small cracks in the foundation or small holes in the roof can be an invitation to squirrels, mice and other animals and bugs to enter your home. 2. Remove any wood piles or debris Small animals and insects often take shelter in moist and dark areas. Don’t allow soil or mulch to build up around the foundation. Firewood should be stored away from the home. 3. Trim tree limbs and branches near the home Animals like squirrels and raccoons can scurry across them to make their way into your attic. Hiring a tree service company to cut back overhanging limbs can remove a possible point of entry. 4. Seal holes or openings in windows and doors Make sure they are properly sealed and caulked to prevent entry from small critters and insects. 5. Secure containers indoors and outdoors Make sure garbage cans and recycling bins are sealed and placed away from the house. If you compost, consider doing so in a closed-top bin, and keep it as far from your home as possible. 6. Clean the kitchen Clear food from all surfaces, clean dishes every night, and sweep floors of crumbs. To pests, your kitchen could be perceived as a buffet. 7. If Pests are Found If pests are found, use sticky-traps and baits in closed containers, along with least toxic pesticides such as boric acid powder. In case of more severe problems, consult a professional licensed pest control service.
