Seal the Deal This Fall: Keep Rodents Out Before They Move In!
As Jacksonville’s weather cools, rodents and pests go on the hunt for warmth—and your home is prime real estate. Don't let them sneak in through cracks and gaps. Here’s how to shut them out before they become uninvited guests:
🏠 1. Check Doors and Windows
Tiny gaps in seals or screens are all it takes for ants, spiders, and rodents to enter. Inspect and replace worn weather stripping and patch up any tears to keep the outside, well, outside.
🧱 2. Seal Foundation and Wall Gaps
Walk your home’s perimeter and look closely—cracks in siding, brickwork, or stucco are easy targets for nesting pests. A little caulk or steel wool now can prevent a big infestation later.
🔌 3. Block Utility Openings
Where pipes, wires, or cables enter your home, use copper mesh or silicone sealant to close the gaps. These hidden openings are favorite pest entry points—don’t overlook them!
