It’s not just about “spring cleaning” anymore. Spring may be here, but so is COVID-19. Now, it’s about how to deep clean and protect our home environment.
Storing bulk supplies and foods, like dry foods, dog food, paper towels and toilet paper, and spending prolonged time at home, unfortunately creates an ideal habitat for damaging rodents and pests to come inside and not be so socially distant.
In addition to these CDC home cleaning recommendations, consider then the following tips from pest prevention expert, CEO/Founder of EarthKind, Kari Warberg Block, to help prevent what nobody should have to worry about right now- spring pest infestations:
Clean up areas where traces of pet food may be present to eliminate attractants that can lure pantry moths, ants and mice into the space. Dog food is the number 1 rodent attractant.
Transfer dry food into airtight glass, metal, or plastic containers to protect it from moths, weevils and small beetles.
Look closely to identify tiny cracks in the walls, windows, doors, and around plumbing and electrical wires. Seal them with caulk or weatherstrip so rodents and pests can’t get in.
Fix any leaks. A leaky faucet or water seeping indoors will encourage critters like spiders, ants and cockroaches to come in and stay awhile.
Spray the insides of your dresser or wardrobe with a vinegar-based cleaner. Then wash it with a warm soap solution. Remove any drawers before you begin cleaning, the gap between the wall of the wardrobe and the shelves is a moth’s favorite place to hide.
