The kitchen is the number one target for household pests in Bellevue homes, and for good reason: it has food, water, and warmth all in one room. Here is how to keep it pest-free.
Why pests love the kitchen
Ants follow trails to crumbs and spills, cockroaches hide in warm gaps near appliances, and rodents raid pantries at night. Every one of them is after the same thing, an easy meal.
Daily habits that help
Wipe counters, sweep crumbs, and do not leave dishes overnight. Store food, including pet food, in sealed containers. Take out the trash regularly and keep the bin clean. Fix drips under the sink that give pests water.
Seal the hidden gaps
Check behind and under appliances, around pipes, and along the baseboards for gaps where pests travel. Sealing these cuts off the highways they use.
When to call an exterminator
If you are seeing roaches, a steady ant trail that returns, or any sign of rodents, a local exterminator can find the source and treat it properly, which store sprays rarely reach.
