Now that its getting closer to freezing at night, you know who is looking to keep warm in your house? insects, spiders, squirrels, rats and mice ! Here are a few DYI fixes to keep them out. Look for cracks, crevices and holes on the outside of your house. Areas that most people miss are the cracks and holes around pipes and electrical wires that lead into the house. Make sure there isn’t any areas in the soffits that have been open up, and get mesh put on chimney tops to keep squirrels out. Move firewood and other clutter away from the bottom areas around your house. Trim trees and shrubs at least 6’ from the house especially the roof line. In the house, store all of your pantry foods in sturdy plastic containers, always clean up spills and vacuum regularly. Cardboard boxes in the attic should be converted to hard plastic as rodents use the cardboard to make nests, and silverfish love cardboard.
