Garages for most of us are used as an extra place in the
house to store things. Whether it be extra boxes being stored or sports
equipment, clutter and extra items make a great home for pests to hide out.
Where there’s clutter there’s usually unnoticed scraps, such
as, food, dried up liquid, or leaves. These types of extra debris lying around
also attract different types of pests.

Declutter
First and foremost, before any deep cleaning can be done,

being used anymore, extra items need to be stored in airtight containers or off
the ground.
This declutter and extra space in the garage helps in a few
ways. For one, it helps clear the way to deep clean the garage. It also helps

Sweep

ground. Although it’s not always your highest priority indoors, it is super

airtight containers like dog food or keeping food in a refrigerator.
