Our beautiful city offers residents plenty to love, from a vibrant arts and culture scene to lush outdoor spaces and a marvelous landscape that creates a harmonious living space. Sadly, the lush outdoors of Florence also attracts a myriad of pests, from mosquitoes to cockroaches to mice and wasps, that invade your home and turn your living environment into a nightmare. Maintain your harmonious living environment using the following pest control tips.  

Start Outside the House

Preventing pests starts outside the home. Proper landscaping and yard maintenance plays a tremendous role in pest prevention. Keep bushes trimmed, grass cut, and leaves and debris out of the lawn. Treat plants for pests to further deter unwanted visitors. Further, eliminate standing water to minimize mosquitoes and other water-loving pests.  

Seal it Up

After landscaping, walk around the home searching for any holes, cracks, or gaps in the foundation, windows, or doors. It is a good idea to inspect screens, vents, and weather stripping as well. Seal these entry points and repair damaged items so pests like spiders, ants, and mice cannot enter the home.  

Clean the House

And, of course, keep a clean home. Pests appreciate debris and cluttered space since hiding becomes much easier. They also love when crumbs, food, and trash pile up. Keeping the house clean reduces the odds of a pest infestation in your home.
