As the British weather moves from Winter to Spring, we might be glad of the warmer weather but there are downsides. There are certain bugs and insects that love to come out when it's warmer. Here are our top tips for keeping them away from your house without using nasty chemical products that can be harmful to the environment.
1. Keep your house clean!
As a general rule of thumb, a cleaner house is less likely to attract nasties. If you spill food or sugary drinks, make sure you wipe them up straight away. Also, take your bin out regularly so that there is less waste inside your house.
2. Keep foods and drinks sealed
This is applicable for all foods and drinks but especially those with a high sugar content. Wasps love fizzy drinks and foods like jams and sweets. By keeping them in sealed containers, the smell won't be able to attract pests as much.
3. Get rid of damp
If you have areas in your house that sometimes get damp marks on the wall or have standing water, get someone in to assess the problem and see what can be done. Damp can cause mould which is a great environment for some insects.
4. Block holes and cracks
Pests will try and find any way into your house that they can. For larger pests such as mice and rats, make sure large routes into your house are blocked. If you do get an infestation, try and trace their passage into your house.
If you do get a large pest control problem that you cannot deal with yourself, make sure you call a reliable pest control company in to help. While it can seem costly at first, the experts will be able to help you discreetly and professionally and you are more likely to get rid of the problem first time. They should also ensure that the products they use are not harmful to the environment or any pets you have around.
In the summer, citronella products can be great for keeping mosquitoes and wasps away when you're outside. You can buy candles and other citronella scented products that don't harm the insects but keep them away from you!
