CHECK YOUR GARDEN
--- Don’t forget to check the garden too. Pests love to hide in garden clutter, so you need to eliminate as
much mess as you can, and im things right back, to stop pests from nesting there.
CHECK FOR HOLES AND CRACKS
--- Have a look around the outside of your home for any cracks, holes or small openings a pest could get
though. Remember a pest can get through the tiniest hole, so none should be ignored.
SEAL THE GAPS
--- If there are even the tiniest of gaps around the inside of your home, get the sealant out and block off
all of the possible pest entryways. Start with where the pipes and utilities enter your walls. And floors
INSTALL DOOR SWEEPS
--- Install door sweeps on any exterior doors to stop pests crawling underneath the crack at the bottom.
Repair any damage to windows and doors that may have happened because of bad weather over the
winter.

OPENING DOORS AND WINDOWS
--- When you open the doors and windows for a bit of fresh air, be careful. If there are any insects
outside then keep the windows closed to stop them from entering, or fit window and door screens.
CLEAN YOUR GUTTERING
--- Clean out all of your guttering and pipes. Make sure all old leaves and moss have been removed. If
you don’t feel confident doing it yourself, hire a professional to do it for you.
INSECTS THAT LOVE GUTTERING
--- Insects such as bees and wasps love to make their nests in messy guttering. And birds love it too,
because there’s plenty of nesting materials and it provides great protection as well. This is why it’s so
important to keep your gutters clean.
