Pest Control Tidbits
Common Ways Pest Problems Can Occur:

Action: Firewood is stored indoors to avoid going out in the rain or snow to get it. This also keeps it dry making it burn cleaner.
Problem: Carpenter ants and other wood destroying organisms enter the home.

Action: Recycling of soda cans and bottles in the house or office help save landfill space and money.
Problem: Such bottles attract flies and cockroaches. Mice have also been known to crawl into cans and bottles.

Action: A family eats popcorn while sitting on a couch watching TV. Some popcorn falls behind the pillows and does not get picked up.
Problem: Grain insects or mice can move into the couch and start a nest.
