Pest Prevention Tips

Pests in your home are not only a nuisance, but can also severely affect your health and the stability of your home. This is why bug and insect prevention is critical in protecting homes from an infestation.

Interior

Make sure all doors that lead outside are well-sealed. If you can see light around your door, it is not sealed and insects can enter.
Check for water leaks. Seal gaps around plumbing pipes.
Check the grout around your tub and toilets.
Don't leave pet food out at night.

Exterior

Repair or replace torn screens.
Seal around soffits and vents.
Seal around conduits and pipes where they enter the home.
Keep your gutters clean and make sure water is diverted away from the foundation.
Keep roof and gutters clear of leaves and debris.
Caulk around all windows.
If you store your garbage outside, make sure the lid fits tightly.
Keep garage door closed and weather-strip along the base.
Prune shrubs and trees so they do not touch the home.
Store firewood away from the house.
Adjust sprinklers so they do not spray the house nor puddle the foundation.
Remember that feeding the birds is feeding wildlife and rodents also.
