Your Spring Cleaning Checklist

Thoroughly wash all linens in hot water

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

Get your chimney swept professionally

Inspect any leaky piping or drains

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

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

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

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

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