Summer is the season of sun, fun, and, unfortunately, pests. Just as humans thrive during the great weather, celebrating with outdoor parties, BBQs, and water fun, pests come out to play, wanting in on the fun. Yet, summer pests only cause us anxiety, knowing they carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans and risk causing structural damage to our homes.

A Simple Inspection, My Dear Watson

Embrace your Sherlock Holmes detective skills as you inspect your property for cracks, holes, or other secret passageways that give the pests easy access into your home. Seal up those passageways and stop pest entry into your home.  

Oooh, That Smell

Pests hate the smells we love-like cinnamon, lavender, peppermint, citrus, and eucalyptus. Keep a sachet of one of the scents pests hate in each room of your house or use essential oils or candles to help keep them away.
