Your house is the most expensive asset you have, keep it in good shape by following these tips.

Create a Home Maintenance Checklist

Your vehicle requires routine maintenance to run smoothly, and the same goes for your house. Without service reminders, however, it can be easy to forget to tend to all the systems that keep your house fully functioning. Fortunately, you can create a simple annual maintenance checklist to properly care for your home and prevent potential issues from becoming major problems.

Start by making a list of each task you'll need to complete over the coming year. Make sure your yearly home inspection includes all major systems (HVAC, electrical and plumbing), the interior and exterior of your home, water and septic tanks, doors and windows, and the attic or basement if applicable.

When that's done, organize the list according to how often each item needs to be checked or maintained and set reminders accordingly. Your home maintenance checklist might start to look similar to this:

Monthly

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Change air filters in the heating and air conditioning system.
Clean range hood filters to avoid possible grease fires.
Trim back any shrubbery or plant growth around the outdoor HVAC unit by at least 18 inches.
Quarterly

Check and wipe down sliding doors and window tracks.
Replace batteries in smoke detectors.
Test garage door and grease tracks as needed.
Semiannually

Clear gutters of spring and fall foliage.
Power wash windows and siding.
Schedule seasonal service of the HVAC system before summer and winter.
Annually

Inspect and insulate pipes to protect them from freezing.
Trim trees and shrubs away from the home's exterior.
Touch up exterior paint and check for wood rot or water damage.
Check grouting in kitchen and bathroom and repair if necessary.
A home maintenance checklist will make it easier for you to manage the upkeep of your house. It can also help you catch minor issues before they become costly home repairs.

Call a local Termite Inspector to come and do a complete and thorough Termite inspection on your home. They will tell you of any problems that could be existing as well as any conditions that can lead to future problems as these problems can become very costly if not addressed right away. Should they find problems and give estimates do not ever be afraid to get a second opinion. Each company should give the same results but pricing could vary. Once you are ready to pick a service provider do some research on them. Some questions to ask are; How long have they been in Business, are they licensed, bonded and insured, read any reviews on them and make sure that they are what they portray themselves to be. Remember, we will all pretty much resolve your problems but some companies portray themselves as top notch service providers with extensive knowledge and resources when in fact they are just the opposite. Just because they might have an article, or an interview somewhere on the internet does not mean they are the company that can stand behind their work.

Summers here.... So are the Ants!! Here are some suggestions to help prevent a severe Argentine Ant infestations:

1. Keep counters, stove and sinks clear and free of empty used dishes or pans. Wipe down crumbs after the kids make themselves meals and make sure they pick up any crumbs or food that they drop on the ground inside or out.

2. Empty and wash out all soda/beer cans before putting them in the recycle container. Make sure the container is kept fairly clean and that it is not to close to the home.

3. Make sure that the kids keep all candy out of there room and drawers, even sealed candy as the ants can get into the packages. Keep their rooms clear of all candy wrappers.

4. If a trail of ants does make it into the home or yard then find the target o the trail and remove it right away. Don't just spray the ants as other will try to find the target again.

5. Be careful of treating around the home yourself. Some products that the consumer can buy are what is called a repellent. Repellents are not that bad if you are SURE that you have NO infestations in the house. The problem is that once the ants have made it inside your house and a repellent chemical is used the ants will set up colonies within the house because now they can not leave the way they got in. At the time ant colonies set up shop in your home inside walls, attics, under sinks etc-etc they become very difficult to control. Professional Pest Companies such as ours use a non-repellent material to allow the ants to walk on the material and take it back to the colonies to kill off the remainder of the colony. Be careful of Total Green solutions also as the are more repellent than anything else. Green Products are great as a preventive treatment but will cause more trouble than good when trying to control a heavy infestation.

6. Keep harborage areas down, such as piles of debris and the like in your yard. Areas of tall grass, weeds, and dirt up against the home should be kept down. The less areas that a colony can hide the better off your home is.

7. Call a pest Professional for any questions, most of us are glad to answer any questions to help you keep the infestations down at your home and surroundings.
