National Healthy Homes Month: Keep It Dry, Keep It Pest Free
During this second week of National Healthy Homes Month, we focus on the second set of “Principals of Healthy Homes”: Sherlock HOMES! Keep it Dry and Keep it Pest Free. Be a detective to find water leaks and entryways for pests around the house.
Keep It Dry
Many people use their home as a sanctuary and an escape to get away from pesky and annoying allergies. However, all too often the air you breathe in your home is the reason for your runny nose and itchy eyes. Mold and moisture find their way into your home through cracks and crevices and can increase allergies and asthma triggers. Any water that leaks into the infrastructure of your home poses a threat and could develop into mold. Mold is a danger to any home, as it is responsible for the deterioration of a home as well as can lead to respiratory diseases.
Keep It Pest Free
Our homes should not be housing anyone but our family, friends and pets. All other animals, insects and critters belong outside! Many homeowners hire animal control or pest control specialists to eliminate any unwanted intruders for a short-term solution. Pesticides and poisonous residues can pose as a threat for any family but especially for families with health issues or young children. Long term, pesticide-free treatments such as investing in a well-sealed, well-insulated home is safer and will last longer.
