Spring Cleaning Tips to Keep Pests Out of Your Home or Business

Spring cleaning isn’t just about decluttering—it’s also a great opportunity to prevent pests before they become a problem. As the weather warms up, pests like ants, rodents, and cockroaches start looking for food, water, and shelter. A little extra effort during your seasonal clean-up can go a long way in keeping them out.

Focus on cleaning areas that are often overlooked: behind appliances, under sinks, in storage closets, and along baseboards. Be sure to eliminate food sources by wiping down surfaces, taking out the trash regularly, and storing pantry items in sealed containers. Decluttering and organizing storage areas—especially using plastic bins instead of cardboard—can also make your space less inviting to pests.

For businesses, spring is the perfect time to deep-clean kitchens, inspect break rooms, and identify any structural issues like leaky pipes or cracks around windows and doors. These vulnerabilities can make it easy for pests to enter and settle in.
