<h3>Howdy, Partner!</h3><p>Here at TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION, we know that livin’ in Phoenix is a bit like ridin’ the range—beautiful, but not without its challenges. One of those challenges is keepin’ your home free from pesky critters that don’t seem to take a break, no matter the season. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back with some tried-and-true tips to keep your home safe from pests all year long.</p><p>So, saddle up, and let’s take a ride through these 9 essential tips to keep your Phoenix home pest-free, the cowboy way!</p><h3>1. Seal Up Them Cracks and Holes</h3><p>Pests don’t need a wide-open door to make their way into your home—just a tiny crack or hole will do. Take some time to inspect the exterior of your home and seal up any cracks, gaps, or holes in your walls, foundation, and around windows and doors. A little caulk or weatherstripping can go a long way in keepin’ those critters out.</p><h3>2. Keep Food Stored Properly</h3><p>Just like a hungry coyote, pests are always on the lookout for an easy meal. Make sure your food is stored in airtight containers, and don’t leave any snacks or crumbs lyin’ around. Keep your kitchen clean and take out the trash regularly to avoid attractin’ unwanted visitors.</p><h3>3. Fix Leaky Pipes and Faucets<br></h3><p>Pests need water just as much as they need food, and a leaky pipe or dripping faucet is like a beacon callin’ them in. Fix any leaks in your home and make sure your plumbing is in good working order. This not only helps with pest prevention but also saves you money on your water bill.</p><h3>4. Maintain Your Yard<br></h3><p>Your yard is the first line of defense against pests, so keep it well-maintained. Trim back trees, bushes, and shrubs that are close to your home to eliminate hiding spots for pests. Rake up leaves and debris, and keep your grass cut short to discourage critters from settlin’ in.</p><blockquote><p>TRAIN STATION PEST ELIMINATION<br><a data-mce-href="https://trainstationpestelimination.com/contact-us" href="https://trainstationpestelimination.com/contact-us" title="Contact Us">We take 'em to the Train Station</a><br>480-316-5612</p></blockquote><figure id="figure-pbt8d3aykplzww7ofo" class=""><img id="pbt8d3aykplzww7ofo" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/1dawHIwHfrNJWeLN6JO5ezeIazNuZtUdXapWYIr27ZOW9Z9EcrXBFdtmkZFMHJm3.jpg" alt="Courier enters DHL yellow delivery van after delivering the on time" title="Courier enters DHL yellow delivery van after delivering the on time" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/1dawHIwHfrNJWeLN6JO5ezeIazNuZtUdXapWYIr27ZOW9Z9EcrXBFdtmkZFMHJm3.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>5. Don’t Let Standing Water Stick Around</h3><p>As we’ve mentioned before, water is a big draw for pests. Make sure there’s no standing water in your yard, around your pool, or in containers like plant saucers or birdbaths. Mosquitoes and other pests love to breed in stagnant water, so keep things dry to keep them at bay.</p><h3>6. Screen Your Doors and Windows<br></h3><p>Letting in the fresh air is great, but letting in bugs? Not so much. Make sure your doors and windows are equipped with screens that are in good repair—no holes or tears. This way, you can enjoy a cool breeze without worryin’ about what might be flyin’ in with it.</p><h3>7. Regularly Inspect Your Home<br></h3><p>Even with the best prevention, pests can sometimes find a way in. That’s why regular inspections are key. Take a walk around your home every so often to check for signs of pests, like droppings, chewed wires, or nests. Catchin’ these early can save you a lot of trouble down the line.</p><h3>8.
