The groundhog may have said 6 more weeks of winter, but it won’t be long until spring. We love spring because it means warmer weather, time spent outside, beautiful flowers and BBQs. But it also means increased pest activity.

The good thing is there are steps you can take now to help reduce pest activity when spring arrives. Consider the following tips:

  • Check the exterior of your home for winter damage such as cracks in the foundation or broken gutters
  • Plan your outdoor space, including your garden and your cooking area, in a way that minimizes nuisance pests
  • Make a schedule for cleanup of areas where pests may reside such as your yard, garden, and perimeter tree line
  • Be mindful of the weather, as temperatures increase so will pest activity, so you will want to be ready and be watching for signs of pests
  • Implement a preventative pest control plan that is tailored to your home and to the pests that are mostly likely to be found in your area
