Pest proofing is the first defense against pest entry into your home. General household pests will sense warmth and food sources through these gaps and will take up residence in your home and establish colonies. Mice will enter through garages and doorways. Ants, spiders, and crickets will find there way through gaps at foundations and faulty crawl space screens. Wasps and Yellow Jackets will find openings in attic vents and roof lines and establish nests.

Exterior perimeter pest control applications can help reduce pest population and help eliminate pests from your home.
