Prevent Pests From Moving In For The Winter
Don’t feel like sharing your home with the local bugs, mice, squirrels, and other pests that are looking for shelter from the cold winter months - take a look at these tips to keep them out!
Indoor pests can be a serious danger for homeowners as many can contaminate food and other surfaces around the home with their droppings. Mice and other rodents may even pose a fire hazard if they gnaw on electrical wiring within the home. When it comes to pests, prevention is the key:
Address Home Repairs
If the recent storms or years of wear and tear have left parts of your home vulnerable to pests then now is the time to repair them, before the winter weather arrives.
Seal Nooks & Crannies
Investigate the perimeter of the home for cracks in the foundation or the siding of your home, older windows or door with gaps in the jams, and broken screens are all entryways for pests and rodents into your home.
Water Sources
All living things need water to survive. Don’t allow water sources around the home attract pests and other rodents. Leaky pipes, poorly draining gutters, a leaky roof and other water around the home can serve as a water supply for pests and rodents.
