General Prevention Control Guide

Signs of General Prevention

• ⚠ Unexplained droppings, shed skins, or dead insects appearing in cabinets, closets, or along baseboards
• ⚠ New damage to food packaging, wood structures, or wiring that was not present before
• ⚠ Unusual odors such as musty, oily, or ammonia-like smells in enclosed areas
• ⚠ Increased sightings of any pest species indoors, especially during times of day when they are normally hidden

Prevention Tips

• ✓ Conduct a thorough exterior inspection twice a year, sealing any new cracks, gaps, or holes in the foundation and walls
• ✓ Maintain proper yard drainage and fix any leaking faucets, pipes, or irrigation lines to eliminate moisture attractants
• ✓ Keep landscaping trimmed back from the home and remove leaf litter, mulch buildup, and debris near the foundation
• ✓ Store pantry items in sealed glass or heavy plastic containers and clean up food residue from counters and floors daily
• ✓ Establish a relationship with a licensed pest control provider for regular inspections and preventive treatments
