It’s important to make sure your home is pest free all year long, even during colder months. Frigid temperatures and snow don’t scare off pests, so we’ve put together a list of things you can do to protect your home from pests in winter:
-
- Screen attic vents and chimney openings
- Eliminate any plumbing issues, like leaking pipes or clogged drains
-
- Seal any cracks or holes around your home’s exterior
-
- Store food in airtight containers
-
- Dispose of garbage regularly and make sure covers are secure
-
- Store firewood at least 20 feet away from your home
-
- Keep shrubbery well-trimmed
-
- Install door sweeps and repair damaged screens
-
- Inspect items (i.e., boxes from your garage) before bringing them into the house
- Properly store holiday decorations
