In preparation for the New Year, here are a few tips on keeping your home and business pest free.

[if !supportLists]1. [endif]Inspect the perimeter of your home or business; looking for entry points for both rodents and insects. Look for places where limbs or branches may be touching the structure. Check your screens and weather-stripping, this includes the garage door. After inspecting, take action!

[if !supportLists]a. [endif] Seal cracks and crevices using caulking or steel wool, this is both very effective and affordable. Remember to focus on utility pipes, ac lines and exterior hose bibs. Some rodents can squeeze through opening no bigger than a dime.

[if !supportLists]b. [endif]Trim branches and shrubbery back from the home and the roof line; don’t for get to rake the leaves removing nesting sites. Make sure your firewood is stored on a rack and at least 20 feet away from the structure.
