Keeping Pests Out Of Your Holiday Goodies

Here are a few tips  from the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) to help prevent unwanted "guests" from getting into your holiday goodies.

• Immediately wipe up any crumbs or spills from countertops, tables, floors and shelves. 
• Store food in airtight containers and dispose of garbage regularly in sealed receptacles. 
• Only purchase food in sealed packages that show no sign of damage. 
• Add a bay leaf to canisters and packages of dry goods like flour, rice and other grains- their pungent scent repels many pantry pests. 
• Install door sweeps on exterior doors and repair damaged screens. 
• Check expiration dates on baking ingredients before use. 
• Eliminate all moisture sites, including leaking pipes and clogged drains.
