Pest Control in New Braunfels

It’s finally cold here in south Texas – at least for now! – but that also means the creepy crawlers are beginning to take refuge in our homes. As we prepare for the holidays, it’s important that we include pest control in those preparations. Here are a few tips to help keep your home pest-free during your holiday celebrations.

1. Keep an eye on what you bring into your home. We all love living Christmas trees but sometimes they act as homes for various insects. Once inside, these insects will make themselves comfortable in your home and can become difficult to get rid of. If not already done, be sure to shake your tree out and do a quick inspection before bringing it into your home. In addition to your tree, be sure to look over any garland, outdoor lights, and firewood that you bring into the home. These items can house ants, spiders, and even termites which will gladly set up shop in your home.
2. Check cardboard boxes before you bring them inside. Bugs love cardboard, and if your boxes have been sitting for a prolonged period of time, they could be filled with more than just your Christmas decorations. When it’s time to unpack your boxes, be sure to inspect them outside before bringing them into your living space. Insects to look out for include cockroaches, spiders, termites, as well as rodents.
3. Clean up your kitchen after use. We know. After cooking a large meal for your guests, the last thing you want to do is tidy up the kitchen. However, the more food and ingredients that are left out, the better the chances of attracting pests such as ants, gnats, and flies. Be sure to clean as you go or enlist some help from the family to help keep your home pest-free.
