Seal Your Home to Prevent Pests Coming in

Pests multiply in the summer, so sealing your home and performing some basic maintenance tasks can keep them out and prevent them from becoming a nuisance. Several things you should do is caulking the edges of windows, filling holes and cracks in your walls, chopping back trees that overhang your home, and keeping your yard clear of debris are all examples of maintenance.

You can also check your yard for any standing water that could attract mosquitoes, and make sure your door and window screens are in good working order. Some home warranties may include pest control coverage, so if this is a major risk in your area, look for a company that includes it in their plan.
