Stop Being a Mossie Magnet: Habits That Attract Bugs (And How Zitholama Can Help!)
Hey there, South Africans! Sizwe here from Zitholama Cleaning. We’ve all battled the battle of the bugs. You think you’ve evicted the ants, only to find roaches having a jol
in your kitchen. But what if I told you some everyday habits might be unintentionally laying out the welcome mat for these nasties?
At Zitholama Cleaning, we’re passionate about helping you create a clean and pest-free home. Here’s the lowdown on those pesky habits that keep bringing the creepy-crawlies back for more:
-
Leaving Lekker Leftovers: Crumbs are like a five-star restaurant for bugs. Leaving leftover braai goodies on the counter, forgetting to clean under the kettle, or having overflowing bins – all this becomes a feast for hungry pests.
-
Water Woes: Spilled boerie juice, leaky taps, or pet water bowls full of stagnant water – it’s like a luxurious spa day for some insects! Moisture attracts pests looking for a place to chill and breed.
-
Cardboard Castles: Don’t let your recycling become a bug palace! Cardboard boxes hold onto food scraps, creating a haven for insects. Break down cardboard before hitting the blue bin, and rather store them in a bin if you need to keep them for a while.
-
Open Door Policy: Even a small crack around a door or window can be an open invitation for pests. Seal any gaps or holes with some good quality silicone to keep unwanted visitors out.
-
Those Neglected Nookies: Underneath the fridge, behind the stove – these hidden corners can become breeding grounds for pests. Make sure to give these areas a good clean regularly.
Remember, prevention is key! By adopting these habits and keeping a clean home, you make it way less attractive to pests.
But what if the little bliksems are already there? Don’t panic! Zitholama Cleaning offers professional pest control services to get rid of those unwanted guests. Our trained technicians will size up the situation and implement a safe and effective plan to keep your home pest-free.
Let’s work together to create a clean and healthy home, free from creepy-crawly visitors!
