Pest Prevention Tips

Check out these tips for preventing household pests, pest infestations and the potentially dangerous health and property threats they pose.

• Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home including entry points for utilities and pipes.
• Keep tree branches and shrubbery well trimmed and away from the house.
• Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry.
• Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.
• Repair fascia and sofits and rotted roof shingles; some insects are drawn to deteriorating wood.
• Replace weather-stripping and repair loose mortar around basement foundation and windows.
• Store fire wood at least 20 feet away from the house and five inches off the ground.
