How To Keep Pests From Buzzing Through Community Clean-Up Events This Earth Day

Terminix Empowers Communities with Earth Day Cleanup Tips to Prevent PestsMEMPHIS, Tenn., April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Every April, Earth Day reminds us of the importance of preserving our planet through environmental conservation, uniting communities over a common goal to better protect the cities we call home. This year, Terminix, a Rentokil Terminix company, has pledged to hit the streets of their communities, helping clean up the mess to prevent pests.As local communities gather together for Earth Day clean-up activities, it's crucial to ensure that our efforts to beautify and care for the environment do not inadvertently attract pests. To help keep pests from buzzing through community clean-up events, Terminix shared these tips:Dispose of Waste Properly: Ensure that all trash and debris collected during the clean-up are disposed of properly in sealed containers. Leaving trash bags lying around can attract pests like rodents, birds and insects.Avoid Food Waste: If organizing a clean-up event with food or snacks, be vigilant about cleaning up any food waste promptly. Food scraps are a magnet for pests, so dispose of them properly in sealed containers.Clean Up Standing Water: Pests, like mosquitoes, breed in standing water. After heavy rains or if working near bodies of water, be sure to clean up any standing water to prevent mosquito breeding grounds.Wear Protective Clothing: Consider lighter-colored clothing as lighter colors are less attractive to mosquitoes than darker colors
