When the weather outside is frightful, unwelcome visitors from the great outdoors love to seek shelter in your home. In fact, rodents love a warm and cozy environment just as much as you do, and without proper pest control measures, they will find a way to join you inside. According to Select Pest Control of Cincinnati, there are three important steps all homeowners should take as the temperatures drop.

Read on to learn how to rodent-proof your home for the coming season:

  • Sealing: Rodents can sneak in through the tiniest cracks and crevices, so sealing up your home is essential. Try caulk for small openings, wire mesh for medium openings, and enlist professional help for any holes more than two inches in diameter. If you’d like assistance, a highly trained Select Pest Control professional will assist in determining all possible points of entry and seal them for good.
  • pest controlWeather-Stripping: After you’ve finished addressing any cracks in your home, it’s time to think about the many doors and windows throughout your property. Use weather-stripping to ensure a tight seal around the front and back doors, as well as doggy doors, garage doors, and leaking or drafty windows. Not only will this help keep rodents out—the added insulation may lower your winter heating bills!
  • Preventative Pest Control: For a final level of defense, call a Select Pest Control expert to perform preventative measures throughout your property. Even if you had a pest control visit last year, it’s imperative to have another winter treatment to prevent re-infestation and keep rodents far from your family festivities.
