pick up any leftover food and wash the bowls of pet food regularly.
sugar, syrup and honey in plastic containers that snap shut, and wipe them down to remove any sticky residue.
Check to ensure shampoo, lotion and soap bottles are secured and no contents have spilled out of their containers.

soil around or under the house, beneath sidewalks and driveways, along steps and foundations,
under debris and rocks, in stumps or other damp, decayed wood, in trees, and in lawns.
Some common nest locations include decaying structural timbers, attics, wall and floor voids,
under sinks, behind cabinets, and many similar hard-to-reach places.
