Well, I will be starting school up in a week or so and I cannot believe that the summer is just about behind us now. Wow. Where does the time go? Going back to school is a huge deal for every family that has school aged children. You are shopping madly for supplies, clothes and shoes, getting schedules from the school, bus routes and car pool moms. You are trying to get your children as prepared as possible but what about YOU? Did you know that moms have to make sure they are prepared as well? You know, children are going back to school and the pests are looking to move back into the house for the winter. So, you not only have to prepare for back to school but you also have to prep your home to discourage those little furry friends who look for warm corners to winter in.
Orkin is a leader in pest prevention and I have used their products before. I am thinking about getting some mouse traps for my crawl space...last year I had a mouse build a nest in the bottom of one of my baby clothes boxes. The horrid little creature chewed through layers and layers of gorgeous clothes and RUINED them. At the bottom of the box were all the clothing shreds. I was HORRIFIED. Yes, mouse traps are definitely in order.
