π‘ Tech Tip Tuesday: Check Around Your Pipes!
Pipes, cables, and utility lines have to enter your home somewhereβand the small gaps around them can create an easy entrance for pests.
Take a walk around your home and check where plumbing and utility lines enter through exterior walls and the foundation.
π Look for cracks and openings around pipes
π Remember that rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small spaces
π Seal small gaps to help keep insects out
π Pay extra attention around the foundation, basement, crawlspace, and utility areas
π οΈ Repair damaged or deteriorating seals when you find them
Pest prevention isn't always about what you see inside your home. Sometimes the best solution is stopping pests before they ever get in.
A small gap to you could be a front door to a pest! β
