Top Ten Tips for Pest Control

  1. Don't keep paper grocery sacks, boxes, or cartons inside your home. These may harbor cockroach eggs that later hatch inside your home.
  2. Use good sanitation in your home and remove garbage/trash daily.
  3. Control sources of water for pests. Fix any leaks in your plumbing.
  4. Correct structural problems -- Caulk foundation holes and cracks and crevices around doors and windows.
  5. Have children watch for pests and never touch or handle bugs or spiders.
  6. Control sources of food for pests. Put away food promptly and don't leave open pet food handy for rats and mice.
  7. Wipe counter tops and tabletops after each meal or snack.
  8. Sweep and vacuum floor in the kitchen and eating areas (dining room, den) frequently.
  9. Look for signs of mouse/rat droppings, especially under sinks and inside kitchen cabinets.
