Pesky pests! Tricks of the trade to keeping a pest-free home
AUGUST 2014 • The Willmott RuhlerThe Willmott Ruhler • AUGUST 2014
HVOTP Real Estate Update July was another great month for Real Estate in Hawthorne Village on the Park! There were 34 total sales and an average days on market of just 16! However, there were a couple of homes priced well over market value and, after multiple price reductions,
remain for sale today. This is a common approach when sellers want to ‘test’ the waters, recoup renovation costs or sentimental
value. Doing so usually results in staying on the market for an extended period of time and selling under market value. Pricing is a key component to the sale and needs to be set strategically.

Pest infestations not only cause damage, they can also take a chunk out of a homeowner’s wallet. Here are a few ways to prevent critters from calling your house “home.” Remember, for large infestations, always call a professional.
Simple Ways toGet Rid of Pests
Ants
of ants in your kitchen, clean the area with soapy water,
household cleaner or a 50/50 solution of water and
vinegar. To avoid an infestation:
• Keep sweets and food in tightly closed containers.
• Plant spearmint around your house.
Place strips of cucumber, citrus peels or borax near
any openings where you’ve seen ants.
TermitesWhile no home is safe from termites, it is possible to reduce the chances of an infestation.
Termites thrive on moisture. Survey your home’s foundation, and look for water leaks.Schedule a pest inspection. Termites are crafty critters that only make their presence known through the damage they cause. Schedule a pest inspection every couple of years to catch an infestation early and help you avoid making costly repairs.
RoachesThe easiest way to prevent roaches is to keep your kitchen spotless—clean up crumbs, wipe down the sink and sweep
here are other options:
• Sprinkle catnip or bay leaves in areas where roaches lurk, such as behind the refrigerator, under the oven and under your sinks.
• If you see a roach, spray it with soapy water. The soap
Set traps with baking soda and sugar. Roaches love sugar; however, the baking soda will dehydrate them.
Rodents
• before you go to bed.
• Ants aren’t the only vermin that hate mint. Mint keeps rodents at bay as well.
• Place steel wool in holes on the exterior of your home.
• Put trays of used cat litter outside near where you think they could get in.
Rodents will smell the cat and scurry in the other direction.
Fleas
they often don’t get rid of them in the house. For that, try these suggestions:
• Sprinkle salt, borax or baking soda on the carpet and upholstery. Let it sit for a few hours, and vacuum afterwards.
•
• Clean your bedding and your pet’s bedding regularly.•
