Winterize Your Home for Pest Prevention
Winterizing is one of the best ways to protect yourself from pests. After all, you’re not the only one who wants for a warm, comfortable place to live in wintertime. Here are some winterizing tips to protect your home from pests.
- Your garage door is the biggest entrances to your home. Make sure that your weather stripping is in good shape.
- Keep trash cans tightly closed to keep away rodents and wildlife.
- Clean gutters of leaves, twigs and stagnant water where bugs can hibernate and snack.
- Fill any holes around pipes, vents or windows.
- Keep your firewood away from the foundation. Cut back any shrubs or bushes away from your home.
- A chimney cap keeps animals, rain and dirt out. If you have an older home, you may not have a cap.
