Keep Your Home Clean

One of the best ways to prevent bugs from taking up residence in your home is to keep it clean. Vacuum regularly, sweep and mop your floors, and don’t let dirt and dust accumulate. Bugs are attracted to food sources, so be sure to keep your counters and table clean and free of crumbs. In addition, empty your trash regularly and wash dishes as soon as you’re done with them.

Close Any Openings

Another way to bug-proof your home is to make sure there are no openings that bugs can use to get inside. Take a close look at your door and window screens and repair any holes or tears. Be sure to caulk around windows and doors, and fill any cracks or gaps in exterior walls. If you have a fireplace, chimney, or another opening to the outside, make sure it has a screen that is in good condition.

Use Insect Repellents

There are a number of effective insect repellents on the market that can help keep bugs away from your home. Spraying a perimeter around your home can help discourage bugs from entering, and using a repellent indoors can help keep them away from areas where you don’t want them, such as kitchens and bedrooms. Be sure to read the labels on any products you use to make sure they are safe for indoor use.
