As a homeowner, there are some pro-active steps that you can take to help keep unwanted pests from entering your home.  Pests transmit disease & pose health problems for your family and some cause property damage.  The NPMA (National Pest Management Association) recommends that homeowners do the following to help prevent bugs & rodents from entering your home: (http://www.pestworld.org/For-Consumers/Prevention-Tips)

1. Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home including entry points for utilities and pipes.

2. Keep tree branches and shrubbery well trimmed and away from the house.

3. Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry.

4. Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.

5. Repair fascia and sofits and rotted roof shingles; some insects are drawn to deteriorating wood.

6. Replace weather-stripping and repair loose mortar around basement foundation and windows.

7. Store fire wood at least 20 feet away from the house and five inches off the ground.
