Cracks and gaps in your home’s foundation and exterior walls are prime entry points for pests. Inspect these areas carefully and use weather-resistant caulk to seal small openings. For larger gaps, expanding foam can provide a secure seal. Pay special attention to areas where pipes or cables enter your home, as they are often overlooked.

Even with doors closed, small gaps around the edges can let pests in. Install or replace worn weatherstripping and add door sweeps to block entry. For windows, check the frames for cracks and seal them as needed. Adding a layer of plastic film or draft stoppers can improve insulation while further preventing pest entry.

The roof and chimney are common but often neglected entry points for pests. Replace damaged shingles and seal gaps around vents to prevent pests from accessing your attic. Install a chimney cap to block wildlife while maintaining proper ventilation. Additionally, screen attic vents with fine mesh to keep out smaller pests like insects.

Pests thrive in cluttered, undisturbed spaces like basements, attics, and garages. Take time to declutter and organize these areas, storing items in sealed plastic bins rather than cardboard boxes. Regular maintenance will help you spot any signs of pest activity early and make these areas less inviting for nesting.

Moisture is a major attractant for pests, so addressing water problems is essential. Repair any leaky pipes, faucets, or clogged drains, and use a dehumidifier in damp spaces like basements or crawl spaces. Keep your gutters clean to prevent water from pooling near your foundation, which can attract pests.
