When the weather outside is frightful, pests want nothing more than to curl up inside your warm home and get cozy. However, there are some simple and important steps you can take to keep pests from using your home as a winter hideaway.
Make sure all cracks around the outside of your home are sealed. This will keep out pests like mice and rats that, believe it or not, can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime. Rodents try hard to come inside during the winter, not only because it is cold outside but mostly because the seeds and plants on which rodents feed outdoors are gone.
Also, check doors, windows and screens to make sure there are no holes that can serve as entryways. Caulking cannot only keep out pests, but it can also help lower your heating bill. Installing a good, thick weather strip on the bottom of all doors can prevent pests from entering. The garage door may prove difficult to seal completely, so the door from the garage to the house should especially be sealed tightly.
