We at Southern Pest Control want to help you prepare for The Fall. The change in weather creates new possibilities to be on the out look for when staying pest free. Many pests are preparing for the possible harsh weather that may occur. Therefore, many will use your home as a haven to protect themselves. Among the most common are lady bugs and spiders. Fall is a good time to protect home from overwintering pests seeking shelter like cockroaches and rodents.
Below are some steps you can take to make your home and property Fall ready.
- Keep your grass mowed and shrubbery trimmed. Always keep them away from the sides of your home.
- Clear all debris and make sure there is no standing water.
- Always store firewood away from the home and keep it elevated off the ground so that pests and termites cannot get into it
- Inspect the outside of your home for cracks and holes that pests can use as entry points and seal them. If you have a brick home check to ensure that the stuffing used in your weep holes is still in good shape
- Use weather stripping around doors and windows
- Insure that your screens are in good shape
- Make sure your chimney is pest protected
- Keep your gutters clear of debris.
