As temperatures begin to cool here in Arizona, your home may be a welcoming site for many uninvited guests. Many pests look to our homes as safe harbors for the winter months. In nature, they seek shelter under loose bark, rotten logs, leaf litter, and in rock crevices. Unfortunately for us, their beady little eyes see our homes as such a place.One of the best things we can do is bug proof our home before they have a chance to move in. For those uninvited guests that have already moved in, simple decluttering and cleaning should take care of them. Pests are looking for 3 things: 1)Food 2)Water and 3)Shelter. By limiting these, pests will not see our home as a safe harbor.
Here is a great "how to" from Gouge et al. from the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension on what troublesome pests we might have and how to keep them out.
How to bug proof your house
Good Luck!
