Keep Free From Pests This Summer

Pest Control Bromley

 Looking for a Pest Control Bromley Base company ?

The sun is coming out, the holiday season is upon us and life is good. Unfortunately it is also the best time of year for insects and bugs. We do not want to spend our summer in the accident and emergency department because we have been stung or bitten.

 

Advise from Pest Control Bromley on how we can keep our summer months pest free ?

 

  • Keep all food in sealed storage containers (Tupperware), that way it won’t attract flies.

 

  • Keep a bay leaf on your kitchen side, the scent will ward the insects off (they don’t like it.)

 

  • Always check for holes and tears from items you buy from the supermarket. Pests like to crawl inside packages and transfer themselves to your home.

 

  • Check the expiry date on food that has been lying around in your pantry for years before you use them. Especially flour, cereal and spices.

 

  • Be extra clean, even more so than in the winter months. The kids are home from school and will probably leave crumbs on the floor while they’re playing. Clean them up immediately.

 

  • Check the house for any cracks that a rodent could crawl into.

 

Take care in the garden

 

  • If you are going to tackle your own pest problems and are using a pesticide bought from a supermarket, make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.

 

  • Store the pesticide away from children or pets and keep it well and truly sealed.

 

  • When you have finished with it, rinse the bottle and throw it out with your normal refuge.

 

Take care on those long country walks

 

There are over 20,000 different species of insect in the UK. It is quite likely you will meet some of them while out rambling. A common insect that we find in our countryside is the tick. If you do decide to go for a walk where there is dense vegetation, here are some suggestions we hope you will adhere to.

 

Take the sting out of the tick

 

  • Wear long trousers and long sleeves, preferably with elasticated cuffs. Tuck your trousers inside your socks. Not exactly fashionable, but the other option is to look good and get bitten. Not something Pest Control Bromley recommend.

 

  • Leave the sandals at home (boots are best).

 

  • Remove any ticks you find on yourself immediately. (Some tweezers in your bag would be a good thing to have.)

 

  • Protect your dog from ticks by using some kind of repellent. You could try a jump suit for them, but they’d be too hot. (Yes, if you’re wondering, that was a joke.)

 

  • After your walk check yourself (backs of knees, underarms, scalp, groin) and brush all your clothes.

 

  • Last but not least, if we haven’t put you off the whole idea, ENJOY rambling.
