Summer weather brings flowers, the smell of the grill, picnics and unfortunately, bugs.
When the creepy crawly little critters are in your garden and backyard, they aren’t so bad. But when they enter your house, that’s when it’s time to declare war on the bugs.
There are a couple of things that bring bugs into your house through doors, windows and even doggie doors:
Weather – That wet winter weather you experienced was a perfect breeding ground for insects of all kinds, and it’s a good indication that this summer will see an increase in bugs.
Food – If you have food available – crumbs, fresh fruit, or even dirty dishes in the sink – it becomes a feast for many insects.
Water – Standing water is a breeding ground for insects, and while you might not have standing water inside your home, an increase in the number of bugs in your backyard is possible if there is water around your house.
Plants – Potted plants with damp soil are bug magnets for both food and breeding.
Of course, you can attack these invasive critters with chemicals in an effort to keep them out, or you can try a do-it-yourself, natural pest control program that won’t harm your family.
Bug Off Instant Screens install easily on the outside of any door in your home. These screens allow humans and pets to walk through easily, but snap shut after you are through, keeping the bugs outside where they belong. With a spring tension rod holding the screen up, you can transfer it easily from doorway to doorway – including custom doors and French doors – without damaging your door frame, and you don’t have to have your hands free to open the screen while walking through. The website will even show you how to install a screen door.
Insect control is much healthier with screens rather than repellent, because they’re chemical-free, keeping your family and the environment in your home safer for everyone. As an added benefit, you also won’t need a doggie door any longer, because pets can walk through the screen just as easily as humans.
Even if the bug population is expected to swarm this summer, feel secure knowing that your screens are keeping the critters out.
