Don't let insects take refuge from the heat in your home, contact McCauley Services today!

In Little Rock, Benton and all across Arkansas as well as most of the United States, extreme heat and drought conditions are driving people indoors in search of some relief; unfortunately we are not the only ones.  Ants, spiders, cockroaches and many other insects are seeking refuge from the heat and lack of water and much to our dismay, the best place for them to do this is inside our homes.  In recent weeks, McCauley Services, a longtime Arkansas pest control company, has received numerous phone calls from homeowners needing help getting rid of summertime pests and we would like to offer some tips that will make your home less attractive to these pests.

Get Rid Of Summertime Pests

• Keep food stored in durable, air-tight containers

• Clean spills and crumbs immediately from countertops and floors

• Remove trash daily and keep it covered

• Fix any leaky pipes and faucets

• Run a dehumidifier in damp areas

• Mow your lawn regularly

• Keep branches and shrubs trimmed back away from your home

• Replace landscaping mulch regularly-decaying mulch is great insect food

Summertime pests can be extremely difficult to get rid of.  They can slip through the smallest cracks and crevices throughout your home, but with a little diligence and the help of McCauley Services, your home can be relatively pest free all summer long.  If you live in Little Rock or elsewhere throughout Arkansas, please contact us today for more information on our effective Prescribed Home Protection Plan, which can keep your home free of unwelcomed pests all year long.
