- Seal openings around doors & windows
Seal any openings around your doors and windows with silicone or foam sealant. Be sure to check the weather stripping around your doors and replace it if necessary.
- Chimney cap
Install a chimney cap to keep pests from entering your chimney.
- Plug attic holes & gaps in soffits
During the winter, when your home is closed up tight to keep out the harsh elements, plug any openings inside your house to prevent pests from entering through them.
- Keep pet’s fur clean
If you have a pet that spends time outdoors, check your pet’s fur for pest hitchhikers when they come into the house.
- Inspect plants before bringing them into your home
Before planting new plants in your garden, inspect them carefully to ensure they do not carry insects or other pests with them. Also, be particularly aware of any plant sitting outside un-watered for an extended time as it may have become a breeding ground for pests.
