Tip #1: Bed bug prevention

Summer is around the corner; it is the “bed bug season” due to travels.

To help prevent bed bug encounters during your summer vacation:

• Thoroughly inspect the entire room before unpacking, including behind the headboard, under lights and inside dressers, sofas and chairs.
• Pull back sheets and inspect mattress seams and box springs, particularly at the corners, for telltale stains or spots.
• Avoid placing luggage on furniture or luggage racks where bed bugs can hide unseen.
• When returning home from a trip, vacuum and properly inspect suitcases before bringing into the home, then wash and dry all clothes on hot cycles.

If you think you have bed bugs in your house, call a professional immediately. Do not attempt to do the treatment yourself.

Tip #2: Cockroach prevention

1. Practice good sanitation
2. Take food garbage outside prior to going to bed every night
3. Do not let dishes piling up in the kitchen sink.

 Tip #3: Rodent prevention

1. Seal all cracks around the house using a proper sealant
2. Do not leave doors open
3. Make sure garage door closes properly and there is no gaps underneath. Replace or repair door weather strip if damaged.
