Seal Your Home

First and foremost among tips for keeping unwanted ‘guests’ from entering your home is sealing it up properly! From windows and doors to your foundation and even garage, it’s important to have a good seal around areas where creepy crawlies may sneak in. Not only does this help to keep pests out, it’s a great way to keep your home energy efficient, too!

Keep Basements & Crawl Spaces Dry

One of the things that attract unwanted pests and animals to your home is a damp, dark environment that is not disturbed often. If your basement or crawl space fits that description, pests may see that as an open invitation to move in! Instead, be sure to seal up any potential entryways for moisture in these areas and invest in a dehumidifier if need be.

Dispose of Garbage Regularly

Garbage, while unappealing to humans, is like a feast for many pests. That means if your garbage cans or dumpsters are sitting out often with trash lingering inside, you may be attracting pests that want to eat it! Instead, be sure to seal your garbage cans and dispose of your waste properly and consistently to deter pests from moving in.

Replace Weather-Stripping

Similar to sealing your home, weather stripping helps to keep your house feeling comfortable inside while keeping out the harsh Nevada heat, as well as the pests we tend to see! Over time, weather stripping on doors and entryways can get worn down, allowing pests to push through small cracks or breaks in the material. Replace it regularly to ensure a pest-free environment.
