Now is the time to take the initiative in maintaining your health and wellness, with the help of the environmentally friendly pest control service from “Serve Me” company, which is available in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Tips and advice for preventing insects in your home this summer

We at “Serve Me” Pest Control have prepared this list of tips and advice to help you repel insects this summer.

Cleanliness is the first prevention

We understand how difficult it is to keep your home clean, especially if you have pets and young children. No matter how much time you spend cleaning, the work is never done. And when it comes to pests, you need an expert like Serve Me to help you maintain a healthy environment.

• Book a pest control service in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to take care of your family's needs so you can focus on other aspects of cleaning and maintenance such as:
  • Wipe down all surfaces with disinfectant regularly, especially areas that your family members use frequently. Whether you use eco-friendly cleaning supplies or not, keeping all areas of your home clean is the first step to repelling insects.
  • Clean up spills as soon as they occur. Often, if you leave a small stain, it can become sticky, tough, or build up very quickly, especially in the summer. Clean it early before insects get to it.
  • Cover foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, which can attract fruit flies and other pests. You definitely don't want to attract the attention of larger pests like cockroaches and mice. This is an easy and quick way to control pests.
  • Do not leave pools of water standing. While keeping your kitchen and bathroom clean is crucial to your health and wellness, it's equally important to clean the right way. Simply spraying water and leaving it to air dry can make matters worse. Moisture and water are an ideal environment for mold to breed as well as pests such as mosquitoes.

If your home has a garden or outdoor space, we at “Serve Me” advise you to keep it clean and tidy. Overgrown weeds and dense growth can attract unwanted insects that may sneak inside. It is also helpful to prevent outside equipment from entering the home. Dirty shoes, clothes, and equipment can carry dirt and insects with them.

Make sure you have screens on all your windows and doors to keep insects outside. You may want to keep your windows open to get some fresh air in the summer, or perhaps kids and pets go outside to play regularly. Establish ground rules to keep the network switched off at all times and this will always ensure a healthy environment.

• Take out the trash regularly. Garbage will attract insects and pests, so be sure to dispose of garbage at least once a day and more if necessary.
• De-clutter your home and get rid of things you don't need. Items that collect dust and mold will also attract insects.

While these tips will help you keep pests away, you will need to invest in an annual pest control service for your home for a thorough deep cleaning and sanitization.
