Pest risk factors
- An open garbage can stored under the sink can be a magnet for flies, rodents, roaches and ants.
- Mice, roaches and other pests can enter a home through tiny gaps between plumbing pipes and walls.
- Food that is not sealed tightly can attract “pantry pests” such as roaches and rodents.
- Improperly sealed attics or crawl spaces can become access points for spiders, rodents and other pests.
- A leaking roof or a blocked gutter can accumulate moisture, a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
- Mosquitoes, flies and other pests enter through small openings around windows and doorframes.
- Some pests can reach your home via high grass or yard debris.
- Piles of firewood stacked near your home can lead to pests such as carpenter ants and termites.
