Summer Pest Prep: How to Keep Your Menifee Home Bug-Free
Summer in Menifee means longer days, warm weather—and an increase in pest activity. Ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other pests thrive in the summer heat. Follow these tips to keep your home protected all season long.
1. Inspect & Seal Your Home
Pests look for entry points to escape the summer heat. Walk around your home and check for:
Gaps around windows, doors, and baseboards.
Cracks in walls or foundation.
Torn window screens.
How to fix it:
Seal gaps with caulk, install weather stripping, and repair damaged screens.
2. Keep Your Yard Tidy
Your outdoor space plays a big role in pest prevention. Mosquitoes, spiders, and rodents are drawn to overgrown yards.
Trim bushes and trees away from your home.
Mow the lawn regularly.
Remove standing water from gutters, birdbaths, and plant saucers.
3. Store Food Securely
Warmer temperatures mean more pests searching for food. Keep your kitchen pest-free by:
Storing pantry items in sealed containers.
Keeping fruits and vegetables refrigerated.
Wiping down counters and floors daily.
4. Use Natural Repellents
Some pests can be deterred with natural solutions:
Mosquitoes: Use citronella candles or plant lavender, basil, or marigolds around your home.
Ants: Sprinkle cinnamon or vinegar along entry points.
Spiders: Peppermint oil mixed with water can be sprayed in corners.
