Seal the Perimeter
Take a walk around your property and inspect for any cracks, gaps, or holes in your foundation, walls, windows, and door frames. These are all potential entry points for pests. Seal them up with caulk or weather stripping. Don't forget to check around pipes and utility lines.
Trim the Landscaping
Overgrown shrubs, trees, and bushes can provide harborage for pests and easy access to your home. Trim them back so they don't touch your house. Clear away any leaf litter or debris that could be harboring pests.
Secure Food Sources
Pests are attracted to food, so it's important to eliminate any potential sources. Store food in airtight containers, clean up spills and crumbs immediately, and don't leave pet food out overnight. Make sure your trash cans are tightly sealed as well.
Moisture Control
Moisutre attracts pests. Repair any leaky pipes or faucets, and make sure your gutters are clean and draining properly. Consider using a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements or crawl spaces.
