During fall, you\u2019ll need to be even more vigilant than usual. Some kinds of bugs and rodents try to get into homes before the weather gets cold. Keep in mind that our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/about-us\/services.php\" target=\"_blank\">Freehold exterminators<\/a> are here to help if you end up with a pest problem in your home. Use these tips to lower the risk of a pest infestation this fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Keep the kitchen clean<\/strong><br \/>\nCockroaches, mice and other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pestworld.org\/videos\/educational\/seasonal-pest-threats-for-first-time-homeowners\/\" target=\"_blank\">pests<\/a> enter kitchens in search of food. Keeping your kitchen floor, counters and sink as clean as possible helps keep these critters away. Sweep up crumbs and don\u2019t leave food out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Use garbage cans with tight lids<\/strong><br \/>\nTaking out your kitchen trash each day can keep pests at bay, but make sure your garbage cans have lids that fit tightly. This makes it harder for these pests to get into them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Seal up cracks and other entryways<\/strong><br \/>\nSeal up gaps, cracks and openings around pipes and vents on the outside of your home. Close up cracks near doors and windows as well. This prevents bugs and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/30\/three-big-problems-mice-can-cause\/\" target=\"_blank\">rodents<\/a> from getting inside your home.<\/p>\n<p>If you have pests in your home, our Freehold exterminators can help.
