Manage episode 492156501 series 3662217
In this episode of Bug Busters Pest Pulse, host Court Parker shares a travel-season essential: how to pest-proof your home before vacation. Because the only surprises you want after a relaxing getaway are souvenirs — not cockroaches in the kitchen or rodents in the garage.
When you're away, pests play. A quiet, unoccupied house is an open invitation to bugs, rodents, and other uninvited guests. But with a few smart, preventative steps, you can turn your home into a fortress before you lock the door.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why pests invade more when people leave — and how to stop them
- How to deep-clean your kitchen to eliminate attractants before you go
- What to seal, caulk, and cover to block entry points
- Where pests love to hide — and how to declutter those spaces
- The role of leaky pipes and humidity in inviting infestations
- How to use smart traps and motion sensors while you're gone
- Why exterior prep (like yard cleanup and vent screening) matters
- One bonus security tip involving your neighbor and a mailbox
Whether you’re heading to the beach for a weekend or traveling abroad for weeks, these simple actions can make all the difference between coming home to comfort or chaos. Pest-proofing isn’t just a summer tip — it’s a year-round habit that protects your home, health, and peace of mind.
