That fly buzzing around your kitchen may be more than just annoying. 🪰👀

House flies can move between garbage, waste, and other contaminated materials before landing on food preparation areas and surfaces.

🤢 That makes proper sanitation and fly prevention especially important for homes and businesses.

Keep food covered, clean up spills and food debris, secure trash, and address areas where flies may be entering or breeding.

🎃 Halloween should bring the scares, not contamination concerns.

If house flies are becoming a recurring problem, Pointe Pest Control can help identify the source and keep them under control.

🕷️🎃 SPIDER MYTH VS. FACT

MYTH: Seeing a spider in your home always means you have an infestation.

FACT: A single spider doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an infestation. 👀

However, seeing spiders regularly can be a sign that your home has conditions attracting them, including plenty of insects for them to feed on.

So instead of only asking, “Where did the spider come from?”

Ask: “Why does it want to stay?” 🕸️

Pumpkin season is coming... and unfortunately, some pests are looking for a place to spend the fall too. 🍂🐭🕷️

As temperatures change, pests may start searching for warmth, shelter, food, and moisture....and small gaps around your home can make an easy entry point.

Give your home a quick fall check:

🚪 Seal gaps around doors, windows, and the foundation.
🍂 Clear leaves and debris away from the home.
🌿 Trim landscaping back from exterior walls.
💧 Address moisture from leaks, clogged gutters, or poor drainage.
📦 Organize storage areas so pest activity is easier to spot.

A little preparation now can make your home less inviting when the weather starts getting colder.

Bring on the cozy season. Just leave the pests off the guest list. 😂🏠
