Fall is about comfort—warm blankets, cozy décor, and holiday traditions. But it’s also a time when pests look for warm homes and renters should think about safe ways to stay cozy. Here’s how to get the best of both worlds:
1. Keep Pests Out
As temperatures drop, critters like mice and bugs look for warmth indoors. Keep food sealed tightly, take out trash regularly, and avoid leaving pet food out overnight.
2. Go Cozy Safely
Layer up with throw blankets, rugs, and pillows to stay warm. For ambiance, try flameless candles or string lights instead of open flames.
3. Use Seasonal Scents Wisely
Fall candles, wax melts, and diffusers are great, but use them safely. Never leave candles unattended, and keep plug-in warmers away from curtains or bedding.
4. Maintain Air Quality
With windows closed more often, indoor air can get stale. Change your air filter regularly and consider cracking a window for fresh air when weather allows.
Bottom Line:
This season is all about balance—keeping your home cozy, welcoming, and pest-free. With a few smart habits, your rental will be a safe and comfortable haven all fall long.
