To quote Game of Thrones: “Winter is coming.” And it’s not just the cold weather you need to prepare for. Just as we retreat indoors to escape winter’s chill, wildlife also begins seeking warm, safe havens for shelter. Unfortunately, residential homes are often a prime target for pests like rodents, raccoons, and bats during the colder months. The good news? With a few proactive steps, you can prevent seasonal wildlife invasions and keep your home secure all winter long.
Protecting your Home This Winter
During the winter holiday season, unwanted wildlife are the worst kind of visitors—chewing wires, tearing insulation, and leaving droppings that pose serious health risks, as well as cause physical and emotional distress to homeowners. Their knack for squeezing through tiny gaps makes prevention crucial. A few proactive measures now will protect your property and ensure your family stays safe and comfortable all season long. By tackling this early, you can prevent seasonal wildlife invasions and spare your family the stress and expense of an invasion.
- Seal entry points: Inspect your home for cracks, gaps, and holes, especially around doors, windows, and the foundation. Use caulk, steel wool, or hardware cloth to close them.
- Secure vents and chimneys: Install mesh covers or caps to block animals from entering these common access points.
- Trim outdoor vegetation: Keep tree branches and shrubs trimmed back from your roof to limit access.
- Clean up debris: Remove piles of wood, leaves, or clutter near your home’s exterior that could serve as hiding spots for pests to find shelter.
- Inspect and maintain attics and basements: Regularly check these spaces for signs of wildlife activity, such as droppings, nests, or chewed materials.
