Instead of cursory cleaning you should go for deep cleaning of surfaces such as kitchen counters, racks, food shelves, drawers, kitchen ring etc. Wipe them clean on everyday base and use disinfectant to wipeout food smell. Scattered or spilled food on the floor, counter, food preparation areas and dining table could attract pests like cockroach, rodents, ants etc. pests come in to your house mainly for food, and if you deny access to food, it is very likely that they would go someplace else.
- Keep bathroom clean
Keeping bathroom cleaning is important because it is damp and dampness attracts a horde of pests. Bathrooms, toilet seats, and adjacent areas should be cleaned thoroughly with powerful detergents or cleaning agents. Cleaning pot with strong disinfectant with keep cockroaches away and also keep wash basins or sinks in the bathroom in high hygiene by regular cleaning. Do not allow clogging in drainage system and make sure to use de-clogging agents to remove obstacles. Your drainage system is likely to be blocked by balls of human hair, soap particles etc, and make sure that does not happen. Clean, hygienic and dry bathroom surface will not attract pests.
- Don’t allow water to sit on surface
Stagnant water is the base where mosquitoes and other insects breed and prosper. Make sure to remove all water bodies, puddles, and empty pitchers and buckets containing water. Make sure your drainage outlet is clean and letting water drain cleanly. Changing stored water frequently will deny mosquito breeding.
- Keep outdoor clean of debris
Do not leave debris, old items, cardboard boxes, rotten logs etc in your yard or garden. These are hiding places for rodents and soon these places will be occupied by rats and mice. Remove all clutter and dispatch it to landfills or recycling center. Pick fallen/rotten fruits off the lawn, or garden regularly and also dispatch waste to garbage truck regularly.
- Don’t keep/leave eatables outside
Rodents, flies, wasps etc are quickly drawn to BBQ parties because of the overpowering smell of roasting meat. Your lawn parties are not complete without sugary drinks and they are great attractions for the above mentioned pests.
