The spring season is notorious for completely cleaning tasks that have piled up throughout the winter months. Most homeowners have a long list of things they would like to cross off their list of home maintenance and cleaning. Something to think about as you tackle that list is pest control. This is the time of year when all those pesky bugs are going to emerge and become a problem for you again. A-Tex Pest Management is here to talk about spring cleaning tips that can help you keep them away.

Room-By-Room Cleaning to Keep Spring Pests Away

There are plenty of places around your home that could attract pests if you aren’t careful. Here are some cleaning tips to help you keep them out of your home and off your property.
– Kitchen: Ants, rodents, cockroaches and other pests are a common problem in the kitchen. Keeping your kitchen organized and free from any crumbs or food can help keep these pests under control. This is a great time to go through your pantry and ensure all of your food is being stored properly. It’s also wise to check the plumbing under your kitchen sink. If there are any leaks, make sure they are taken care of. Another great tip for spring cleaning is to clean the trash cans in your kitchen so there isn’t any sticky mess for pests to be attracted to.
– Bathroom: There are several pests that are attracted to the moisture found in your bathrooms. Make sure there aren’t any moisture problems that need to be dealt with in here. If you have shower curtains, this is a good time to replace them with new ones that aren’t covered in gunk and build up that could further attract pests.
– Basement: If you have a basement that is filled with clutter, this is a prime location for pests that like hiding places to nest. Pests like spiders, cockroaches, rodents and more will hide out in a cluttered basement. This is the perfect season to clean out your basement and get things organized.
– Outdoor Spaces: You will want to also check the perimeter of your home for any damage from the winter that needs attention. You may have some roofing that needs replaced, fascia that sustained damage or screens on your vents that are covered in holes and needs replacement. You should also check your window screens for signs of holes or damage and replace them as needed.
