Spring Pest Control

We can all agree that Spring has sprung in Middle Tennessee, and nature is blooming everywhere we look. It’s a time when we’re excited to go outside and enjoy some sun.

And guess who else enjoys the Spring? Annoying pests, not to mention …. TERMITES!!

Spring is the time that termites swarm and form new colonies. Learn more about termites in one of our previous blogs called “The Termite Swarms Are Coming! Is Your Home Protected?” And, of course, call Bug Authority if you think you have a termite problem.

Pest Control Tips for Spring Cleaning

This year, when you do your Spring cleaning, do some Spring pest control too. So here are some tips to get you started.

1. Eliminate their Hiding Places
   Spiders, silverfish, and other insects nest in cluttered areas like attics and garages. Cardboard boxes and paper bags are favorite hiding places for these tiny bugs. Get rid of the clutter.
2. Don’t Let Bugs Spend Spring Break on the “Beach” at Your House
   Be sure to remove standing water from around your home and repair any sources of leaks. Cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes love the water, and they can go straight from your “beach” into your house.
3. Stop Handing Out Free Food
   Store pet food in air tight containers. Open storage containers attract rodents and insects.
4. Block the Entrances
   Insects and rodents can squeeze through the smallest of cracks. So seal small gaps in window frames, door frames, and around plumbing pipes.
5. Clean out Planting Beds
   Leaves and moisture in beds around your home can attract insects.
