When it comes to protecting your home from unwanted pests, a little maintenance can go a long way. Here’s a tip that might surprise you: if you can slide a credit card under your door, a scorpion can come in that door. Let that sink in for a moment. But don’t worry—there’s a simple fix! By sealing up those gaps, you can keep scorpions and other pests from entering your home.
I recently spoke with Dave Burns, the owner of Burns’ Pest Elimination, a long-standing business in the Valley. Dave’s team has been helping residents keep their homes pest-free for years, and he knows the importance of quality service. As a proud member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Dave emphasizes the value of doing business with trusted, reputable companies. The BBB helps consumers like you identify these businesses, ensuring you avoid the headaches that come with dealing with door knockers or fly-by-night companies that disappear when you need them most.
Dave also shared some practical advice for keeping critters out of your home. Pay attention to any holes in the wall, gaps, or areas where caulking or trim might be degrading. These seemingly small issues can provide easy access for insects. By addressing them early, you can prevent a lot of problems down the road.
