Use caulk and weatherstripping to close gaps around doors, windows, and foundation cracks.
Clean and Declutter
Keep food sealed, remove standing water, and declutter storage areas.
Store Food Properly
Use airtight containers to prevent attracting pests.
Yard Maintenance
Trim branches, clear debris, and secure outdoor garbage bins.
These actions help reduce pest attractants and make your home less inviting to rodents and wildlife.
