HOW TO STORE FOOD IN THE KITCHEN TO PREVENT BUGS

As fall and winter approach, we prepare for some of the biggest holidays of the year. With big holidays, comes a lot of food. Additionally, during these cold months, pests look for temporary homes to stay out of the cold. The combination of the two can lead to a lot of infestation.

 

A B Pest Control is pleased to give you the knowledge necessary to prevent infestation as much as possible. Prevention tactics aren’t always fool proof hence why it’s important to take as many preventative measures as possible.

 

In the case that infestation does occur, contact your local pest experts at Lake of the Ozarks for consultation.


 


Resealable Containers Are a MUST

 

After holiday parties and the leftovers are piled high, storing your food in a proper manner is important. Any non-air-tight containers will allow small bugs inside. Make sure you prepare to have several air-tight containers available.

 

Serving and Storing Food

 

Pests aren’t only looking for shelter when taking over your home. They also are looking for food to munch on. Leaving foods out throughout the kitchen during a party or dinner, causes a lot of crumbs and access for pests. Instead, utilize one specific area for foods. What’s easier is to serve food to guests right out of a storage container.

 

Make Use of the Refrigerator

 

Dry food staples that are normally placed in the pantry can be stored in the fridge, instead. This is usually impactful for food items that aren’t consumed quickly. For example, flour, baking powder, or cornmeal need to be in airtight packaging and then placed in the fridge to keep bugs out. Dry items like coffee and nuts can be stored in the freezer, instead.


With such simple changes to your normal food packaging routine, you can significantly cut down in the number of small insects and pests you see during the cold months. A B Pest Control wants to ensure seamless and pest-free holidays for you and your family.
