7 Tips for Controlling Critters

January 28, 2015 Posted by LifeChanges Realty Latest Market News

How to Keep the Critters Under Control

Every year, damage from pests costs Americans billions of dollars, not to mention the significant health hazards posed by these unwanted guests. The key to protecting your home is finding out what pests you need to worry about and taking proactive steps to keep them under control.

Tips on How to Keep the Critters Under Control

Trim Back Trees – Prevent pests from using tree branches as a bridge to your home by cutting back any limbs that overhang or touch your roof.

Eliminate Entry Points – Repair damaged screens, seal up exterior holes and fill hiding places, such as baseboards and cabinet edges.

Maintain the Kitchen – Keep your kitchen and eating spaces clean and free of leftover food or crumbs. It’s also a good idea to store food in sealed containers and secure garbage in locked bins away from the house.

Gutters and Downspouts – Keep gutters and downspouts clear of leaves and debris to eliminate a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Inspect Attics and Basements – Check attics, basements, garages and crawl spaces for signs of pests, including droppings, nesting materials and damage.

Fix Leaks – Don’t put off fixing minor leaks; destructive pests, like termites and carpenter ants, are attracted to rotting wood.

Remove Nesting Sites – Regularly inspect your home and yard for signs of pests and promptly address any nesting sites you findcontrol critters
