Performing Pest Control In The Kitchen

By Rosa Koch


Most people think that the kitchen is one of the cleanest place in a home since it is always cleaned after food preparation. But food is actually one of the basic needs of critters which can make them create a nest in that area to survive. Food safety and pest control Aledo TX is important.

Refine the cupboard and the commodes. Transfer the dry food containers of your pet chow, cereals, pasta and sugar. Cupboards that have dead insects and their wastes should most definitely be refined as well.

If you have paper linings on your cabinet, you might as well take them out. Cleanse the cases with lukewarm soapy water. It will also be better if you add drops of disinfectant in the water. Wait for it to dry.

Before you may begin with your cleaning task, make sure that any children and pets in the house is kept away. Request for a friend to take care of them for a while. You should also make sure that an open and well-ventilated area is prepared before the task. Open fans and windows as well.

Get yourself protected by wearing gloves, mask and eye goggles. Use a pesticide for eliminating the critters. Spray on the shelves' sides, cracks and corners. Go out for a while and allow the chemicals to evaporate.

After drying, you may replace paper linings before replacing back all the containers of the food. You may also put them in the freezer for two days to avoid live insects residing in them. This method can kill the eggs of the insects.

Any left-over chow must be kept in a container that is tightly sealed. Bay leaves are known to repel insects and other creatures. If you have noticed any holes that can be the cause of the break ins of the pests, seal them right away. Traps are also effective when it comes to pest control Aledo TX.
