Helpful Hints

Here are some general tips to prevent household pests and rodents from entering your home:

• 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.

• Keep gutters free of leaves and other debris that may harbor insects.

• Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.

• Repair fascia 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.

• Inspect exterior for standing water, empty and remove items that can hold water.
