What You Can Do Between Services

Although Champion is just a phone call away, here are some areas to watch which will allow you to aide in the prevention of any unwanted pests.
 
Outside your Home:

• Pay attention for any possible entry points that may need to be sealed (you can check around doors and windows, utility pipes, etc.)
• Be mindful of trees and shrubs which are right against the house
• Areas of high moisture are a pest’s best friend: Look out for roof leaks, plumbing leaks, standing water, or other water sources around your home
• Keep your roof and gutters clear of leaf debris to avoid unwanted pests
• Items stored against the house, dead trees, and stumps are all welcoming habitats to unwelcomed guests
• Any pet food placement outside your home could also attract pests
• Pet entry ways into your home
• Trash receptacle placement needs to be considered when battling pests as well

 
Inside your home:

• Clutter and un-vacuumed floors (especially in storage rooms not frequently visited) can create environments prone to infestation
• Pet bedding and food needs to be cleaned and stored properly
• Be aware of cracks, crevices and void areas (under vanities, behind plumbing, etc.)
• Areas of moisture (roof leaks, leaks under sinks, etc.) can provide a food source for termites and other pests; be on the lookout for any potential water leaks in your home.
• Keep the area clean around any electronics that may generate heat to avoid pleasant conditions for cockroaches and other pests to thrive
