MAINTENANCE MONDAY: Here is another essential apartment maintenance tip to keep your home safe, clean, and well-maintained.
Pests can quickly become a nuisance if left unchecked. To keep your apartment pest-free:
β’ Take out the trash regularly and keep lids tightly closed.
β’ Store food in sealed containers and wipe down counters after meals.
β’ Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
β’ Avoid leaving pet food out overnight.
β’ Check for gaps around windows, doors, and pipes. Consider using a door draft blocker, which not only helps block drafts and light from coming in under the door, it can also help prevent pests, noise and smells as well.
β’ Promptly report any pests seen to the Leasing Office and be sure to comply with routine pest control services scheduled for your apartment.
β’ Be wary of purchasing used furniture or household appliances without thoroughly examining items for active pests or droppings indicative of pest infestation.
β’ Use protective covers that prevent bed bugs and dust mites from infesting your mattress.
