Pests During the Pandemic

Could Your Social Distancing Habits Be Attracting Pests?
You might be doing the right thing by staying home during the pandemic, but in turn be doing the wrong thing when it comes to Pest Control. Spending all your time at home is slowing the spread of Covid-19, but attracting all the wrong house guests (pests).
So what exactly are you doing wrong?
Trash accumulation. Not taking out the trash regularly. Keeping trash on patios for extending periods of time before disposal in a sealed trash container.
Never checking under the hood of your car for rodents. As our vehicles are sitting in the garage being neglected a rodent could be chewing away at wires, or nesting under the hood without your knowing.
Children scattering snacks through out the house. Seems normal, but there could be snacks hidden in places parents never would have guessed. Your children’s forgotten about snacks could turn into a pests next feast.
Pets staying in the home more yet, not getting groomed as often. This can lead to many unwanted pests in your home. Dogs, and cats should be bathed often. Checking for pests before coming into the home is a good habit to adopt.
Delivery services and pests. All packages, even bags of groceries should be inspected before bringing them into your home. Check for insects on in your groceries, and holes or tears in packages, this could mean there is an unwanted pest inside.
Check all groceries before bringing them indoors.
By limiting your contact with others in the case against Covid-19 you're slowing the spread of the virus. However, in your exposer to pests you could quite possibly be tipping the scales in the wrong direction.
