How Dirt and Grime Attract Summer Pests
Here’s what dirty siding and eaves invite:
– Spider webs: Clinging to dirt and dust, they multiply fast.
– Insect nests: Mud daubers, wasps, and ants love dirty crevices.
– Moisture spots: Moldy or grimy areas attract mosquitoes and flies.
– Food sources: Built-up pollen, sap, or organic matter draws bugs.
A clean house surface isn’t just about looks — it’s about cutting off pest access points and food.
