What Is The Best Thing to Keep Bugs Away From Outside?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

May 7, 2024

There are two methods of pest control for your property – outdoor pest control and indoor pest control.

Try to avoid having to call in an indoor pest control company by helping prevent them from getting inside your home – or in your yard. If you are looking for ways to keep bugs from entering your home and your outdoor spaces, Mosquito Squad of Fort Worth also has answers for you. While you cannot rid your home and property of bugs permanently, there are ways to make your yard and home less of a pest destination.

What is the best way to keep bugs from entering your house?

Texas pests generally try to head indoors late in the fall, where they plan to overwinter. You might notice an influx of spiders, stink bugs, and other pests migrating close to your house during autumn. Here are great ways to help keep them out of your house:

  • Shore up points of entry, including cracks in windows and doors, where light and heat entice bugs.
  • Keep pet foods stored in a sealed container, rather than keeping your pet’s bowl full of kibble all the time.
  • Don’t allow fruit to rot in your fruit bowl and once you dispose of it, take it and any other food waste to your outdoor bins.
  • Keep outdoor garbage bins away from your home.
  • Pick up and dispose of pet waste, as some bugs are attracted to nutrients therein.
  • Don’t allow water to pool close to your home – address irrigation leaks, clogged gutters and downspouts, and leaky outdoor spigots.
  • Don’t allow grass clippings or fallen tree debris to accumulate on your property, especially close to your home.
