Insects & Pests

Our vacation cabin has been treated for unwanted critters, pests, and insects by a licensed pest control company, Johnson’s Pest Control.  Please do not forget that we are in a mountain community and numerous insects, critters, and animals also call this around here their home. While we make every effort to keep your encounters with God’s creatures to a minimum, chances are, you will still find a few making their way indoors and around our cabin.

There are ways you can help too….

  • Clean up any and all drink spills from the floors and carpeting.
  • Do not leave food left uncovered overnight.
  • Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
  • Clean up all food spills and crumbs left on the counter, floors, and around appliances.
  • Do not leave smelly foods in trash for long durations. (Yes, they smell it from outside.)
  • Keep all windows and doors closed unless necessary to open.
  • NEVER leave trash bags outside. ALWAYS leave inside or in your car to take next time in town. The trash attracts bears, and they will come up to dig through the trash.

Here is a list of common insects in our area:

  • Ants
  • Spiders
  • Water bugs
  • Beetles
  • Bees
  • Wasps
  • Hornets
  • Scorpions
  • Cockroaches
