The holidays are near and many families in the D.C., VA, and MD area are planning to get real Christmas trees due to their natural beauty, pine scent, and being a wonderful activity to get the family in the spirit of the holidays. This Christmas tradition, however, does not come without its share of risks. Real Christmas trees are known to be full of bugs and without proper precaution, you may unwittingly invite these pests indoors for the holidays.
In an effort to keep your home pest free this Christmas, it is important to be aware of these possibilities and that you follow these proven tips from the pest control experts at American Pest:
The following insects are some examples of those commonly found on Christmas trees. Most of these insects are harmless to you, however, should you cut your own live tree this Christmas we recommend that you follow the above precautions to help prevent the possibility of bugs raiding your home this winter.
Christmas trees are where insects commonly venture from during the holidays. However, all of your other holiday decorations that have been in storage for the past year are also prone to harboring insects. Be sure to follow proper precautions to check your décor and store it properly each year.
Here at American Pest, we encourage you to stick to your living Christmas tree tradition. Follow our preventative guidelines to help keep your home safe. We wish a safe and joyous holiday season to our customers and all residents of Washington D.C. and surrounding areas.
