HOW TO EFFECTIVELY CLEAN YOUR GARAGE TO PREVENT INFESTATION

 

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, the garage needs to be decluttered and reorganized. Whether that means collecting random items lying around or going through old sports equipment that isn’t 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 eliminates places for pests to camp out.

 

Sweep

 

Grab your broom and start eliminating any debris on the ground. Although it’s not always your highest priority indoors, it is super helpful to regularly sweep the garage, so pests aren’t as attracted to the space.

 

Any food you do store in the garage, should be kept in airtight containers like dog food or keeping food in a refrigerator.
