10 Helpful Hints To Pest Proof Your Home For Winter

  1. Seal up any cracks & holes on the outside of your home including areas where utilities and pipes enter you home. Frequent vacuuming can help to eliminate tiny pests that other pest feed on.
  2. Make sure vents are screened and gaps around windows and doors are sealed.
  3. Keep tree branches & shrubbery well-trimmed & away from the house.
  4. Inspect boxes, grocery bags & other packaging thoroughly to curb hitchhiking insects.
  5. Keep basements, attics & crawl spaces well ventilated & dry.
  6. Storage garbage in sealed containers & disposed of it regularly.
  7. Store fire wood at least 20 feet away from the house & 5 inches off of the ground.
  8. Repair fascia & soffits & rotted roof shingles; some insects are drawn to deteriorating wood.
