To prevent pests from entering your inside space, it's important to maintain a high standard of cleanliness in your home or business. Cleaning up food spills and dirty dishes regularly and ensuring there are no open food sources that might attract pests will aid in discouraging them from coming inside. It's also helpful to identify and seal any cracks or openings in doors, windows, and the foundation to prevent pests from entering. However, while these preventive measures are important, the most effective solution for long-term pest control is to enlist the services of a professional perimeter pest control provider. This proactive approach will help to keep your home or business in Ohio pest-free throughout the year.

Keep Your Inside Space Clean & Put Food in Sealed Containers to Deter Pests

To effectively prevent insects from entering your home or business, it's important to take a comprehensive approach to maintaining a clean environment. Start by promptly cleaning up any food crumbs, liquid spills, and dirty dishes to eliminate potential food sources for insects. Make sure to regularly vacuum and sweep floors, especially around eating areas, and dispose of garbage promptly. Store all food in tightly sealed containers to prevent any enticing scents from attracting pests. Additionally, regularly wipe down countertops, tables, and other surfaces to remove any food residue and spills that could potentially attract insects.

In addition to general cleanliness, it is also helpful to inspect and seal any cracks and crevices in your windows, doors, and foundation. These small openings often serve as entry points for unwanted visitors. By using caulk or weatherstripping material, you can effectively block these access points, making it significantly more challenging for pests to enter your living space. Pay special attention to any gaps in your doorways, as these areas are particularly vulnerable and can provide easy access for pests to infiltrate your space.
