How Did These Fleas Get In My McAllen Home?

Fleas are small but they are mighty, and they can get into your McAllen home in a multitude of ways. Perhaps the most common way that flea infestations happen is due to your cats and dogs. Fleas seek warm blood as a food source and your pets are unfortunately an ideal source for this. If you have cats and dogs it’s advisable to talk with your vet about year-round flea and tick prevention to both preserve the health of your pets and work to keep these pests out of your home. Similarly, fleas are very commonly spread through rodent and wildlife populations on your property. Fleas are parasites and they are happy to get a free ride no matter who the host is. Fleas may gain access to your home embedded in any upholstered items like couches and chairs, which is similar to the spread of bed bugs. Additionally, it’s also possible for residents to bring fleas into their homes after spending time in areas of dense vegetation, and it’s also possible that fleas were in your home before you moved in. For flea control that you can trust, contact BUGWORKS Termite & Pest Control today.

How To Keep Ants Out Of Your Kitchen In McAllen

As McAllen’s most common nuisance pest, ants can become an issue seemingly at any time. To keep these pests out of your kitchen, try the following steps:

  • Start by securing your home. This includes things like replacing worn-down window screens, installing door sweeps, applying weather stripping to the gaps around doors and windows, and caulking up the smallest cracks and crevices that you spot. 
  • Whether inside or outside, addressing leaks is key. Be on the lookout for drippy gutters, downspouts, and roofs as well as faucets, bathtubs, showerheads, and other fixtures, and remedy them completely. 
  • Next, move on to food storage. Ants are primarily after sweet food, but it’s important to keep everything stored in airtight containers, whether it’s in your pantry or fridge. 
  • Because ants aren’t the pickiest of pests, tending to your garbage and what’s inside of it is also imperative. Always use a garbage bin with a lid, take the trash out regularly, and check for food residue between uses. 
  • While aiming to keep ants out of the kitchen, it’s equally important to clean up after crumbs and spills thoroughly. Whether it’s the remnants of a cookie or spilled dish soap, ants will look at anything as a potential food source. 

The most secure protection from ants is professional ant control from BUGWORKS Termite & Pest Control. We use organic products to keep ants away no matter the time of year. To learn more about our ant control options, contact us today.
