According to Steven Dwinell, president of the Association of Structural Pest Control Regulatory Officials, a good example of this has occurred during termite pretreatment for homes under construction. “It might cost 40 cents per square foot to treat a foundation,” he says, “but the contractor offers five cents. Whoever wins that bid isn’t using pure juice.”
Seal any products that come in a cardboard box with no liner inside large Ziploc bags or air-tight containers so that no little pests can get at them. It is also very important to have no water sitting around in your kitchen area. Make sure that your sink area is clean and dry and that all dishes get dried well and put away. Consider putting the plugs in your sinks as well, because the traps in them always have water.
