Why Our Pest Plan Is the Ultimate Holiday Prep Solution
The holiday season is just around the corner—a time for family gatherings, festive meals, and making cherished memories. But nothing ruins the holiday cheer like an unexpected encounter with unwanted pests. As you deck the halls and prep your home for guests, make sure you’re also taking steps to pest-proof your space. Here’s how to prepare for holiday gatherings while ensuring your home stays pest-free all season long.
Common Winter Pests to Watch Out For
While the colder months drive us indoors for warmth, they also do the same for pests. Common winter intruders include:
- Rodents: Mice and rats seek warmth and food indoors.
- Spiders: These arachnids often emerge from hidden corners.
- Cockroaches: With steady access to food and water, they thrive indoors.
- Stink Bugs: These pests love to settle in during the winter.
- Silverfish: They’re drawn to damp and dark areas of your home.
Tips for Pest-Proofing Before Holiday Guests Arrive
Follow these actionable tips to ensure pests aren’t on your guest list this season:
1. Seal Entry Points
Inspect your home’s exterior for cracks, holes, and gaps. Pay close attention to areas around doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Use caulk, weather stripping, or steel wool to block potential entry points.
2. Declutter and Clean
Pests love cluttered spaces and crumbs. Deep clean your home before holiday prep begins. Vacuum behind furniture, clear out storage areas and clean out the pantry to remove food residue.
3. Store Food Properly
Holiday baking and festive feasts mean more food around. Use airtight containers to store all food items, including pet food. Clean up spills promptly to avoid attracting pests.
4. Inspect Holiday Decorations
Before bringing decorations down from the attic or garage, inspect them for signs of pests. Shake out wreaths, garlands, and artificial trees to avoid bringing in hitchhikers.
5. Maintain Your Yard
Keep your outdoor space tidy by raking leaves, trimming bushes, and sealing outdoor trash bins. This reduces the chances of pests finding shelter near your home.
6. Invest in Year-Round Pest Protection
The best way to safeguard your home against holiday pests is to invest in a professional pest control plan.
