Monitor Your Environment: Repeatedly review your home and yard for changes.
- If you notice changes in your environment, pay attention and take notes.
- Do you see a new insect, changes in foliage color or texture, odors in your home, etc?
- Have a base line for normal so that you are aware of variances.
***Take photos with your mobile phone to assure positive identification of any new pests.***
