Home maintenance doesn’t happen by itself. You need to take care of it.

Today I want to talk to you about something that's really fun: PESTS!

My wife hates those pests, she yells and stuffs whenever there's a stink bud!

So let's talk about bugs, I was in a home the other day and we had some problems. We actually had multiple problems. We had fruit flies and roaches! That's like a duofecta of insects. I didn't see any termites, maybe that would've been a trifecta.

Here's some tips and tricks to avoid these pests and insects from coming in if you are maintaining or getting your house ready for sale:

1. Clean your kitchen - I know this is sort of far-fetched. We had a big dinner and we threw everything in the sink but the pests are actually attracted to those tidbits of morsels.

2. Cover your water containers - we don't want standing water at all in our property. That's gonna get the mosquitoes and we don't want them in there.

3. Put the food in the fridge - consider putting fruits and veggies in the refrigerator instead of leaving them in the counter top because pests and insects love it. I think that's where theose fruit flies came from when we are doing the listing presentation.

4. Throw meat properly - meat really attracts those nasty critter and we want to avoid that

5. Consider pest control - this is ultimately the best thing to consider

Ultimately, keeping the pests away needs discipline.
