As summer peaks, it’s natural for bugs to try to escape the heat. With your home being a nice, air-conditioned area, it makes perfect sense that bugs, insects, and rodents would love to move in. If you have cats and dogs, like many of our beloved clients in the Woodbridge, VA area, this risk increases even more.
Our team is proud to have your back, which is exactly why we put together today’s article with a few tips to keep them out of your home - check it out!
Tip No. 1: Keep Your Doors Closed
While this may seem obvious, keeping your doors closed can be tricky when you have small children or tend to have guests over frequently. It’s no secret that small children can be careless and do not understand the importance of this. It can also be very easy to subconsciously stand and chat with your guests with the door half open.
Tip No. 2: Keep Your Pets Clean and Vaccinated
Pets are known to pick up fleas, ticks, and everything in between, but it’s our duty to keep them clean. Make sure you’re bathing your pet at least once a month and staying up to date with all required vaccinations. Ticks, fleas, and parasites carry diseases and can spread not only to your carpets but to humans too!
Tip No. 3: Keep Your Carpets Clean Yearly
Keeping your carpets clean yearly is essential for a plethora of reasons. However, for the purpose of this article, keeping your carpets clean is essential to prevent parasites from living within. Many carpet companies (including Neighborhood Carpet Cleaners) offer a de-tick and de-flea service for a small additional fee. Our team highly recommends purchasing this service to ensure the protection of your carpets from ticks and parasites above all else.
Keeping ticks, insects, and other parasites out of your carpets is a simple process if you take a few proactive steps. While these steps may be tedious, the threat of Lyme disease and other parasites spreading unwanted illnesses to your family and children is a poor alternative.
