  • Screen opening to chimneys, attics, vents, and other areas. Don’t make it easy for them.
  • Ensure that all basements, attics, and crawl spaces are ventilated and dry. Pests are attracted to warm areas with moisture.
  • Seal cracks and crevices with caulking. Rodents can fit through the tiniest of cracks. Prevent this from happening by sealing all cracks and crevices.
  • Keep kitchens clean and be cognizant of how you store food. A messy kitchen full of crumbs, open containers, and a heaping garbage can is a sure way to lure in critters. Clean up after meals and be sure to properly store food and garbage.
  • Store piles of wood away from your home. Keeping firewood and other piles at least 25 feet away from your home will help to keep a great pest mansion out of the path of your home.
  • Avoid leaving your pet’s food dishes outside for a long time. Pests don’t care whether it’s dog, cat, or parrot food. It’s all food to them. Don’t leave it out and entice pests.
  • Install and maintain proper drainage systems.For example, having a well-maintained gutter system will direct water away from your home, which could otherwise attract pests.
