A Sprinkle of Christmas – Christmas Bugs
Christmas dinner is the jewel in the crown for feasts and if you let them, unwanted Christmas bugs will start to appear in your home. There is always a lot of food at Christmas time and of course, there are plenty of leftovers to go around.
Pest problems around the holiday season cause you stress when you should be full of good cheer. Let’s unbug Christmas for you this year!
Store Food in Containers
Store your prepped and unprepped food in tightly sealed containers to prevent pantry bugs. Fact: a family of rodents can live off a crumb a day while ants and cockroaches can survive for about a week.
Keep Your Fruit in the Fridge
Take your fruit out of the fridge when you are ready to eat it. And put the peel or core in a bag “before” you throw it in the garbage. The extra layer of protection will keep insects from laying eggs in rotted fruit carcasses.
Leftovers
Seal them up tight and store them out of reach of rodents and other pests to avoid ants in your kitchen. For example: store in the fridge or in plastic containers.
Take the Garbage Out
Keep your garbage sealed at all times and make sure you take it out. Fact: rodents and insects can find a way into your garbage.
Household Tasks
- Clean spills up, immediately.
- Don’t leave stacks of dishes near the sink. Put them in soapy water.
