At Kilter Termite and Pest Control, we believe that prevention is always better than a cure. When it comes to keeping pests out of your house, a little effort can go a very long way. Some of our best tips to keep your space as inhospitable as possible are to:

• Securely store all food: Make sure pests can’t access your pantry by keeping your dried goods in airtight containers and wiping down counters frequently to get rid of any crumbs. Pesky bugs are resourceful and will find even the tiniest amount of food if you aren’t careful. For the same reason, always take out the trash.
• Fix leaky plumbing: Moisture will attract termites, so be vigilant for any leaks or standing water that might be in your house. Make sure your plumbing is working at all times to keep these damaging intruders at bay.
