Scare Away Pests This Halloween: Simple Clean-Up Tips
Seal the Deal.
Ghosts aren’t the only ones that sneak through cracks—pests can too! Make sure to seal any gaps around doors, windows, and vents. You don’t want a spider making a web by your candy bowl!
De-web Your Corners
Those decorative spider webs are cute, but not real spider webs. Make it a habit to dust and sweep corners of your home regularly to keep spiders from settling in. Your haunted house decor will stand out even more without the real cobwebs stealing the show.
Say "Boo" to Crumbs
Halloween candy is great for humans, but pests love leftover crumbs even more. Regularly vacuum, sweep, and wipe down surfaces, especially after Halloween parties or candy-fueled movie nights. The only thing scarier than a haunted house is a house full of ants!
Trash Talk
Pests love trash, so make sure garbage is properly sealed and taken out regularly. Scare away raccoons, rodents, and more by using sturdy, closed-lid containers. Let’s keep the trash as spooky-free as possible!
Treat, Don’t Trick Your Home
If you notice any signs of pests, don’t wait until they turn your home into their lair. Treat the problem quickly—whether you DIY or call a professional, early action is key to preventing a full-on haunted infestation.
This Halloween, let’s make sure the only creepy things at your house are the costumes and decorations. With these simple tips, you can focus on the fun, knowing your home is safe from pests.
