Seal Entry Points

Prevent pests from entering your home by sealing cracks and gaps around windows, doors, pipes, and foundation. Use caulk for small gaps and expanding foam for larger openings.

Common Entry Points to Check

• Gaps around window and door frames
• Cracks in foundation walls
• Openings where utilities enter your home
• Damaged or missing weather stripping
• Tears in window screens
• Gaps under garage doors

Materials for Sealing

Silicone caulk: Best for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is present. Expanding foam: Ideal for larger gaps and irregular spaces. Weather stripping: Perfect for doors and windows that need to open and close. Steel wool: Use with foam to deter rodents from chewing through.

Seasonal Maintenance

Inspect your home's perimeter twice a year - spring and fall. Temperature changes can cause materials to expand and contract, creating new gaps. Address these promptly to maintain your pest barrier.
