Pests inside your home are a nuisance, surprising you by popping up like uninvited house guests. The last place you want bugs is your kitchen, which is why Oahu's top exterminator, AAA Termite & Pest Control, offers helpful pest management advice to steer away these uninvited guests for good.

Follow these tips for keeping pests and bugs out of your kitchen:

  • Clean Before & After Meals: While crumbs or small spills might seem minuscule to us, they provide a feast for bugs of all kinds, from centipedes to termites. Every scrap of food should be wiped down or thrown away, preventing bugs from feasting on your leftovers.
  • Pest managementKeep Fruits & Veggies In The Fridge: While many of us enjoy displaying apples in a bowl or prefer our fruit at room temperature, keeping these foods in the fridge is a great form of pest management. Rather than leaving fruits and veggies out, keep them in the fridge and let them get to room temperature directly before eating to keep bugs at bay. 
  • Eliminate Standing Water: While some bugs can last weeks without food, they need water to survive. Make sure your dishes are washed and there's no standing water left in your sink. Without food or water sources, the bugs will have to move elsewhere.
  • Seal Up Cracks: Sneaky little kitchen cracks between the baseboards, gaps in cabinets, or cracks in walls can draw in all types of insects, especially those who thrive on wood, like termites. To keep bugs at bay, seal up any cracks so they have no room to enter your kitchen.

Everyone hates unwanted bugs, but there are plenty of pest management steps you can take to prevent them, especially in your kitchen.
