Your first line of defense is to make it difficult for pests to even find an entry to your home.

Block Their Entry to Your Home • Your first line of defense is to make it difficult for pests to even find an entry to your home. Check all your screens for holes, and repair if you find any. Check around your doors and windows for gaps, and replace window stripping when needed.
Clean Your Kitchen • A pile of crumbs on your counter or floor is like a treasure chest to ants and other insects. Let them find treasure elsewhere - outside and far away from your home - by making sure you offer no treasure to be found in your own kitchen.
Get Rid of Standing Water • Getting rid of standing water is the first step to control mosquitoes. Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and a big, fat invitation for mosquitoes to start a family.
Maintain Your Yard • Keep your landscaping maintained to avoid overgrowth that is perfect for pests and their nests. Trim bushes and trees that are near the house, rake up debris, and yes - you’re also going to have to weed.
Eat Your Fruits and Veggies • Don’t let fruits and veggies get overly ripe on your counter. If you do, the fruit flies will invite themselves in for a spell and eliminating fruit flies is a headache you don’t want.
Don’t Throw Meat Outside Too Soon • Try not to throw meat scraps in your outside garbage unless the garbage will be picked up in the next 48 hours or so.
Use a Pest Control Service • Hire a local pest control service to come to your home and regularly spray for bugs and rodents common to your area. “As pest control experts, we can take inventory of your issues and create a personalized plan to keep pests away” • www.knockoutpestcontrolillawarra.com.au 0490 391 414
