Summer Pests

That means the holidays are coming up on us.” As you take a look at the calendar, those months that end with “ber” bring a smile to your face cause it lets you know the summer is around the corner.

As we all begin to spend more time outside, let’s all remember: pesky critters will be looking for ways to get in on the fun and into our homes! Below are some of the most popular pests in Sydney, which can ruin your day.

 Cockroaches : These tiny creatures can be found everywhere in your house, however, they are particularly popular in the kitchen and will gladly grab a snack on the go!

 Mosquitoes : Watch out, they are in the air, and it is their season of maximum activity.

 Huntsman Spiders :Huntsman spiders might take refuge indoors after a day of rain. The good news? They help control other annoying insects!

Pantry Moths : Beware of those almost-invisible eggs that can come home in food packaging. They can morph into larvae, and then moths, and they can be a minor pest in your pantry.

Silverfish :These pests tend to prefer silk, linen, paper, and even damp cloth, so it’s important to stay vigilant!

Bedbugs : Little wanderers that are sneaky and can hitch a ride on you from your travels! They’re small but they can be loud.

So now that we know who is lurking around, here are some friendly suggestions for making sure they don’t get into your home:

Seal the Deal: Close up shop on your home by checking for gaps, openings and cracks and blocking up those little intruders.

Clean Sweep A little vacuuming each day could work wonders for keeping the place clean and the pests at bay.

Food First Keep your food secure and your messes cleaned up to avoid unexpected visitors.

Firewood Safety : Always store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home and five inches off the ground, as pests gravitate toward wood.

Wipe Down It: If you are somehow bringing in bags, clothes or toys, do a thorough job of wiping it all down after you re-enter the house. And, obviously, when you check into a hotel, put your luggage in the tub before you unpack to find any unwanted critters!

Professional Help: There’s no shame in calling a pest control service if you want to give yourself a little extra help on keeping bugs and rodents away.

Wishing you sunny days ahead, and may we all keep our homes happy and pest-free.
