How to keep pests and bugs out of your home

One eco-friendly way to keep pests out is to seal any open spaces or passages into your home. Check for gaps around phone or TV cables, exhaust vents, plumbing, gas or air-conditioning lines. Don’t forget to look around outside where siding meets foundation.

In terms of bugs, inspect all screens and weather-stripping around the home. Ensure all windows are properly sealed in the basement, the attic and on the main floor. Inspect all outside landscaping, such as tree branches, which can serve as a bridge for ants from their world to yours. Routinely check the roof for any holes or gaps that might allow bats, squirrels or even wasps into your attic space. Last, regularly clean gutters as debris can serve as a nesting spot for many different pests.
