How To Protect Your Ponder Home From Rodents 

The rodents that look to take up refuge in your Ponder home have the ability to be the source of health issues such as rat-bite fever and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. They also gnaw on anything they can find due to their need to keep their teeth from growing uncomfortably long. In order to protect your home from these furry invaders, try the following tips:

• Start outside. Rats in particular are very good at climbing and will use overgrown greenery as a bridge into homes. If you have any trees or hedges that are near your home, scale them back to make space. 
• Address potential food sources. Almost anything can make a meal for rodents, so start by keeping all snacks and leftovers in sealed containers. It’s also important to keep things tidy by disinfecting surfaces and taking out the trash often. 
• Shore up moisture concerns. Rodents seek out moist conditions and water sources to sustain them. Using dehumidifiers in crawl spaces and basements may prove helpful. Be sure to turn off sinks completely after using them and never ignore the sight of a leak.
• Seal off entry points. Rats and mice are capable of fitting through very small openings, most of which the average person cannot detect. They may be located in your foundation, around doors and windows, or even on the frame of bulkheads. Try applying rodent-proof materials such as steel wool, wire mesh, and liquid foam to these areas. It’s also important to keep garages, windows, and doors open judiciously. 
• Know when to ask for help. Consider working with a pest control expert who can provide detailed inspection, exclusion, and other top-quality methods.

Preventing Spiders In Your Ponder Home: Tips And Tricks

Spiders are unsettling pests that can make their way into your Ponder home without your knowledge. They slip through very small cracks around windows and foundations or simply get carried in as an accident. While some of the spiders that you may encounter are only a nuisance, others can be more of a threat. Keep them all out by trying your hand at these tips:

• Close off access points. You can start by looking for crevices in your foundation and sealing them with silicone-based caulk. It may also be helpful to repair window screens and use weatherstripping around loose doors. 
• Be proactive about water sources. Whether it’s humidity or dripping pipes, it’s important to stay ahead of moisture issues. Consider installing dehumidifiers in damp areas of the home and fix any leaks that appear. 
• Keep a tidy yard. Many spiders prefer yards but can easily find their way inside. To make your property less enticing to them, keep firewood stored neatly and at least 25 feet from your home, clear away yard debris, and mow the lawn regularly.
• Prevent other pests. Due to spiders’ attraction to pests such as ants and flies, it’s vital that you prevent these pest problems in your home. You can do so by keeping trash tidy and removing it often, storing all food items in sealed containers, and disinfecting surfaces regularly. It’s especially important to pay attention to sweet substances, even those that may even be located in your bathroom.
• Seek professional services. Because there are so many factors that can lure spiders, namely other pests, the best way to keep them out of your home is with routine treatments from a pest control expert.

Local legend holds that Bonnie and Clyde either robbed the Ponder State Bank or attempted to rob it, only to discover it had gone broke the week before. However, this is not listed in the Barrow Gang’s activities. The robbery in question may have been committed by the less famous but more successful Eddie Bentz. Today, Ponder is home to attractions such as the Eddie Deussen Jr. Park.
