Unsealed Cracks
According to Mindy Perales, the marketing and communications specialist at Rottler Pest & Lawn Solutions in Missouri, the best way to prevent pests from entering your home is to ensure that there are no easy entries like cracks and holes.
“If there’s an opening, even a tiny crack in the foundation, pests can make their way in,” she says. “It’s always important to inspect your perimeter, especially at the change of seasons, for any openings that may be an opportunity for pests.”
