1. Seal Entry Points

Pests don’t need a wide-open door to get inside; small gaps around windows, doors, or pipes are enough. Inspect your home for cracks or holes and seal them with caulk or weatherstripping. Don’t forget areas like your attic or crawl spaces, where pests often sneak in unnoticed.

2. Declutter Your Yard

Fallen leaves, firewood piles, and garden debris can become hiding spots for pests. Keep your yard tidy by removing clutter and trimming shrubs or branches that touch your home. This helps prevent pests from making the leap from outdoors to indoors.

3. Store Food Properly

Cooler months often mean more food storage for holiday feasts. Ensure all pantry items are sealed in airtight containers to avoid attracting ants or rodents. Empty trash bins regularly and use lids to deter pests.

4. Monitor Moisture

Pests love moisture-rich environments, even in cooler weather. Check for leaks in your plumbing, gutters, or roof, and address any standing water in your yard. Keeping your home dry is key to making it less inviting to pests.

5. Schedule a Professional Inspection

Pests don’t take a break for the season, and neither should your pest prevention efforts. Regular inspections by pest control experts can identify early signs of infestation and help prevent problems before they start.
