To stay pest-free during the 2025 holiday season, prioritize these three high-impact actions:
Inspect Greenery and Decor Outdoors: Shake out live trees and wreaths and unpack stored decorations in a garage or driveway before bringing them inside. This prevents hitchhiking spiders, beetles, and nesting rodents from entering your living space.
Secure All Food and Baking Supplies: Store holiday ingredients like flour, sugar, and nuts in airtight glass or hard plastic containers. Pantry pests can easily penetrate original paper or cardboard packaging.
Manage Trash and Firewood: Empty indoor trash cans daily to remove food attractants and keep firewood stacks at least 20 feet away from your home. Only bring wood indoors immediately before burning to avoid inviting wood-boring insects inside.
