A Pleased Ant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Little cracks in the doors and windows made accessibility SUPER EASY! Crumb trails to the pantry? Heaven. The kitchen was especially welcoming with all the free snacks! Would love to bring the whole colony next time.”
GATO GUARD TIPS:
Wipe up food spills and crumbs quickly.
Seal gaps around windows, doors, and plumbing.
Store food in airtight containers.
Cozy Cockroaches ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Five stars! Dark, damp, and oh-so-roomy. Lots of hiding spots behind appliances. A humid paradise. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave.”
GATO GUARD TIPS:
Reduce indoor humidity with a dehumidifier.
Fix leaks and improve ventilation.
Schedule regular pest control maintenance.
A Restless Mole Cricket ⭐️⭐️⭐️✰✰
“Lawn was soft and tasty. I tunneled to my heart’s content and left plenty of patches behind as souvenirs. Would’ve liked less foot traffic, though.”
GATO GUARD TIPS:
Look for early signs like thinning grass or small mounds.
Aerate your lawn and apply preventative soil treatments.
Pest Professionals, like Gato Guard, can inspect and treat affected turf.
Mama Mosquito & Family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✰
“Standing water in buckets, gutters, and birdbaths? Yes, please! Cozy place to bring the family. Outdoor lighting was also something that drew us to this particular home!”
GATO GUARD TIPS:
Dump standing water regularly.
Treat problem areas with larvicide or call for professional lawn treatments.
Wear insect repellent when outside, especially during dusk and dawn.
A Solo Spider ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GATO GUARD TIPS:
Dust and vacuum regularly, especially ceiling corners and storage areas.
Reduce other insect activity to eliminate their food source.
Schedule perimeter treatments and entry point inspections with a pest service provider, like Gato Guard.
Raccoons On Retreat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“What a spread! The trash cans were easy to open, and the attic entry was super convenient. Insulation was the softest I’ve ever felt. We would definitely stay again.”
