How can I prevent critters from entering my home?

To prevent critters from entering your home, there are several easy steps you can follow:

1. Seal Entry Points: Check your home for any gaps or holes where critters might get in. This includes cracks in the walls, spaces around windows and doors, and holes in the foundation. Use caulk, steel wool, or foam to seal these openings.

2. Secure Food Sources: Keep food stored in airtight containers. Make sure to clean up crumbs and spills right away, and don’t leave pet food out overnight. Secure trash cans with tight lids to keep critters away.

3. Maintain Your Yard: Trim back trees, bushes, and shrubs that are close to your home. These can provide critters with easy access to your roof or attic. Keep your yard tidy by removing piles of leaves, wood, and other debris.

4. Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect your home for any signs of critters, like droppings or nests. If you notice any issues, address them quickly to prevent bigger problems.
