Pest Proof Your Santa Clarita Home & Business For Winter
The winter months are not the time to decrease pest prevention for your home. Although you are spending less time outside, and possibly seeing fewer pests, there is still pest activity around your home. Ants and bees may be less active, but rodents, cockroaches, spiders, and carpenter ants will be seeking shelter from the wind, rain, and cold. Continuing regular pest control through the cooler months can help prevent pests around you home from getting out of control when spring arrives.
Contact our team of Santa Clarita pest control experts at No Bugs to discuss your pest control needs and concerns. We are here to help keep the bugs outside and prevent infestation no matter the weather.
6 Preventative Measures to Keep Rodents & Insects Away
Pest proof your home and keep the bugs outside where they belong using preventative measures. When the weather is driving bugs and rodents inside, you can protect your home by creating physical barriers around your structure. If you would like more targeted tips about keeping pests away from your property, take a gander at 10 Tips to Keep Wild Animals Off Your Property.
Keep your home pest free with the tips below:
- Seal cracks, holes, around pipes and vents to prevent pests from getting into your home and living in your walls. Check and seal the entry points of utilities and any other potential point of entry.
- If you have a wood fireplace or stove, be sure to store wood away from the home. Wood piles are ideal places for rodents, spiders, and other pests to nest and hide from the elements. As you carry wood into your home, you may be carrying in pests as well.
- Declutter your garage, attic, closets, and any other clutter in or around your home. Store boxes and other items off of the floor to limit the chance of infestation. If you would like more details, check out our blogs about pest proofing your pantry, cleaning out your closet, and preventing rodent activity in your garage.
- Regularly clean your floors and inside cupboards to decrease crumbs and other access to food. When cleaning out your cupboards, check for rodent or bug activity and consider storing food in airtight, rodent-proof containers for the second level of protection.
- If your home has an attic or crawl space storage, do a winter cleaning sweep to remove spider webs and egg sacks, reduce clutter to deter rodents, and check for potential raccoon or squirrel activity.
- Store trash cans in a locked shed or utilize animal proof trash cans to prevent rodent, raccoon, and insect activity.
