Your Spring Cleaning Checklist

• Thoroughly wash all linens in hot water

• Give your entire house a thorough vacuum to remove any insect eggs lying dormant over the winter

• Remove any damp wood inside and outside of the house to prevent carpenter ants

• Shake out and wash any camping supplies that have been sitting in your garage over the winter

• Clean out gutters surrounding your house in spring to prevent nests and in fall to prevent stagnant water, a    perfect home for mosquitoes

• Check trees surrounding your house to prevent wasp and birds nests

• Avoid lawn ornaments that collect water after a summer rain as they tend to attract mosquitoes

• Clean and seal holes under your deck, in your attic and garage

• Ensure that you have proper screen coverings for all windows and doors

• Get your chimney swept professionally

• Inspect any leaky piping or drains

• If you are not sure what you are looking for, call Cal-Rid Exterminators for an inspection
