The smaller the creature – the creeper.
Cooler weather is coming and so are critters; the smaller creature the creepier they seem to be. As the temperature drops, rodents and other pests are looking for a meal and cozy place to stay. One rodent can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation and then the household financial plague. Some of your landscaping will also bring rodents as green healthy plants are like fresh sushi in Yaletown. There’s always a health risk of rodents and their droppings. Moles, voles, mice, rats, squirrels, skunks and raccoon’s can do a lot of damage. Walk around your home and scan it for areas that varmints would enjoy. You need to look up and down; you’re looking for harborage areas, wood piles, debris, all of that should be away from the foundation. Look in window wells. Look up at the eaves and the gutters. Make sure the gutters are clear and there are no nests on the eaves and the drainage from the roof is doing its job. Being proactive saves you from needing pesticides and rodent like creature mined fields.
