Both indoor and outdoor pest control products are formulated specifically to combat these and other common insects.
While some products can be used for both indoor and outdoor insect control, be sure to read the entire product label to ensure that you’re getting the best results from your pest control treatment. Pro tip: Regardless of whether you’re preparing for indoor or outdoor control, make sure you stock up on the right pest control products for insects you’re most likely to encounter.

Most indoor pests migrate into your home from the outside before they start to reproduce and grow their numbers inside your home. These pests are often attracted to your food or waste or are seeking shelter as the weather cools.
Pests are more likely to hide in homes that are dirty or cluttered. That’s why maintaining a regular cleaning schedule is so important. Sweeping, mopping and taking out the trash can go a long way toward preventing pest problems.

Keep your home protected by monitoring and sealing entry points as well. Check doors and windows and caulk gaps if necessary.

You can also set up baits and traps around your home to control unwelcome pests [link to products]. Ant and roach baits are two of the most common indoor pest control products used around the home.

Well-kept landscaping doesn’t just make your home look better – it may also keep pest problems at bay. By regularly tending to your lawn and garden, you can help prevent pests from moving in.
Keep weeds, grasses and debris away from your home’s foundation, when possible, to prevent creepy crawlers from making their way into your home. And keep up a regular treatment schedule around your home’s foundation to keep those outdoor pests away year-round. Having the right pest control strategy will go a long way to help keep insects from thriving in and around your home.
