Exterminating Pests in the Winter...

During the winter, many property owners don't think about pest control. It can be, however, a great time to think about pest control. Failure to plan for your pest control needs now, can cause greater pest problems in the Spring as pests emerge from the walls and eggs hatch. During the Winter, some pests can tolerate the cold weather, others must find a way to stay warm. For pests that need to stay warm, they will often come inside your home and walls or burrow into the ground for warmer soil.

There are several ways to treat for pests during colder weather that will not only help kill pests now, but also prevent them when warmer weather comes.

1. The outside of your property can be inspected during the Winter weather for nests, eggs, and signs of pest damage.
2. The perimeter of your home, including windows, doors, and eaves, can be treated to kill pests trying to enter your property.
3. The interior of your home can be treated to kill any pests that may have already entered.

Family Fun Night...

Those who have had a catastrophe know how much work it is to find receipts and locate and remember all the items in your home. To prevent this problem should a catastrophe occur, here is a fun idea for the whole family. First, prepare an insurance inventory list. Think of all your electronic items, valuables, antiques, and anything else you want to list. Second, get a video camera and turn your insurance inventory list into a game for the whole family. Video everything from your sock drawers (let your kids count them) to your new TV. This will not only help teach your kids the importance of serial numbers on electronic items, but can also help your young kids with their counting skills. Finally, place the video in a safe place. A safety deposit box or fireproof safe are great locations. In the event of a fire or another catastrophe, this video will be of tremendous help. Have fun!
