Prepare Your Home
So what can you do to prepare? First, ensure that any holes, cracks, crevices or gaps in your foundation, floors, attic and garage are properly sealed to prevent them from invading your home. You should also check the materials of your roof, because strong winds may crack shingles and siding materials. This can result in created openings for pests invasions.
Managing proper home maintenance during the fall helps decrease the chances of any rodents invading your home in the winter.
Getting regular home maintenance inspections can determine if your roofing is tightly secured in place. It also helps to keep basements, attics and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry. There are many different types of pests that are attracted to soggy crawls spaces and areas with a lot of moisture.
