Spring Cleaning for Pest Prevention

It’s SPRING, which means all kinds of critters are hatching and emerging from hibernation this time of year. Insects and pests, particularly ants, roaches, termites, spiders and silverfish, are popping out in droves. Are you prepared to ward off these invaders from your home? Here are a few simple things you can do to help keep your house pest free right now:

• Regularly clean around your fridge, stove and dishwasher to remove food crumbs, and wipe down baseboards. Be sure to clean kitchen counters after every meal.
• Clean out your pantry and store open food items in airtight containers. Never store food items on the floor.
• Rinse out all food or beverage cans and bottles before discarding them.
• Keep garbage containers sealed and remove regularly.
• Trim tree branches and shrubs around your house and remove any fallen branches, foliage or debris that accumulated over the winter.

Fertilization by Deep Root Injection

Because of poor soil conditions, trees on the Treasure Coast often require deep root fertilization. Through introducing fertilizer to your soil, we provide your trees and ornamental shrubs with the vital nutrients they need to prepare them for the growing season and to attain their full growth and aesthetic potential. This procedure will enhance the beauty, strength and longevity of your trees and shrubs.

Regular fertilization will improve soil conditions around the roots, increasing the absorption of water, while decreasing runoff and erosion. Roots will thrive when oxygen, nutrients and moisture are supplied. This allows for a rapid recovery and improved environmental conditions around and within the root area.

Please call Coastal Pest Control at 772.879.0904 today to schedule a treatment.
