Get ready. We’re about to drop some major pest knowledge on you. Here are some house rules and tips about pests you should watch out for and tips to help keep them out.
House Rule #1
Don’t leave any crumbs out in the kitchen. Since an American cockroach can live for a week without its head you may turn on the lights to a headless surprise party in the middle of the night. But don’t worry, they’ll never throw you a fiesta because we’re on it.
House Rule #2
Never leave pet food out. With more than 12,000 ant species in the world – pet food on display is like hosting an entire species’ family reunion in your own backyard. But those ants will never even make it through the buffet line because we’ll be there to shut that party down.
