Why Food Storage is Important to Avoid Pantry Pests

Flour bugs, beetles & moths like to find their way into flour, cereal & baking mixes and can quickly ruin your baking experience. Sometimes an infestation will show itself as little brown bits in your food. Unopened food packages aren't immune: these bugs can chew right through even tough packaging like cardboard or foil. To avoid bugs in flour bags and containers, make sure the food you purchase hasn't been torn open or had its seal broken. Store them somewhere dry, and use airtight plastic or glass containers when you can. If you find pests in your pantry, call Slug-A-Bug at 321-259-7844 https://goo.gl/ghWdfg

Eliminate Mosquito Breeding Sites Now

Mosquito prevention means eliminating areas of standing water near and around your home. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing, undisturbed water, even just a shallow puddle that's been lingering. The more of these stagnant pools mosquitoes find, the more they'll breed in your area. If you've got a swimming pool, make sure you maintain it.
