Pests won't make the guest-list this Thanksgiving!

While you can’t control the embarrassing moments your relatives might create this Thanksgiving, you can keep unwanted pests from crashing your celebration. With the abundance of tasty food, spilled drinks, and dropped crumbs, Thanksgiving can feel like a buffet for pests. But don’t worry—you don’t have to share your feast with them. Try these easy tips to keep your home pest-free before they even have a chance to show up.

5 Simple Pest Control Tips to Keep Pests Away This Thanksgiving

The last thing you need during a family gathering is dealing with pests. Keep these five tips in mind to ensure your home stays free of pests—and your Thanksgiving meal stays untouched.

Keep Food Covered:

Flies, rodents, and cockroaches won’t hesitate to sneak a bite if your food is left unprotected. Always cover food when it’s sitting out on counters or tables to prevent pests from making their own appearance at the feast.

Clean Up Promptly:

Spilled food and crumbs are an open invitation for pests to invade. Be sure to clean up immediately after meals and wipe down surfaces to eliminate any food remnants that could attract unwanted guests.

Take Out the Trash:

Food waste is a major attractant for pests, so don’t leave it around. After cleaning up, take the trash out and store it in a tightly sealed bin, ideally away from your home, to keep pests from gathering nearby.

Store Leftovers Safely:

Leftovers may be a treat for you, but they’re just as appealing to pests! Store any unused food in airtight containers and refrigerate it promptly. Avoid leaving food in open paper bags or containers that pests can easily access.

Control Odors:

The savory smells of Thanksgiving dinner can linger long after the meal is over, and strong odors can attract pests. Use odor-neutralizing products to keep your home fresh and pest-free.
