Tips for Keeping Pests Out of Your Home

The primary draw for pests to enter your home is food. You can help avoid attracting bugs by practicing good cleaning habits. Wash dishes and sweep the floors regularly so rodents and insects don’t find crumbs to eat. Keep pantry pests out by sealing food tightly in glass or metal containers. And don’t let garbage bags sit once they’re full; they can attract mice and other unwanted pests.

Composting for Homes in Salt Lake City, Utah (Cont'd)

Surround your bin with obstacles, such as rocks or wire, so pests can’t get into it easily. Cover the waste inside with a layer of dirt or dry leaves and sticks to partially mask the smell. Rats don’t like when their food is disturbed, so stirring the mix can help deter them. If you’re not using a bin, bury the compost pile at least 8” in the ground so it’s inaccessible.

Spring Pests Active Around Salt Lake City

When the weather warms up in the spring, lots of pests return from a period of decreased activity in the winter. Ants, especially, move their colonies back outside to sidewalks and yards, though scorpions become active in the warmer weather, too.

Summer Pests Active Around Salt Lake City

Summer is generally pest season. Cockroaches search for food inside and outside. Scorpions are more active during the cooler nights. Earwigs feed on damp tree leaves while stinging insects, including bees and wasps, head for the flowers and find roofs to build nests on.

Fall Pests Active Around Salt Lake City

In the fall, rodents such as mice and rats begin trying to enter homes to find shelter for the winter. Spiders will also look for places in garages, attics or other indoor locations to wait out the cooler months.

Winter Pests Active Around Salt Lake City

Winter, even a mild one, brings pests inside through any small cracks or open doors they can find. Rodents, spiders and cockroaches all remain somewhat active if they build shelters in your home. Pantry pests such as Indian meal moths and grain beetles also remain active, feeding on loosely stored food items.
