Wildlife can be fun to see from afar, but the moment they become an issue on your property, they stop being enjoyable and start being a nuisance. That’s why it’s important to take wildlife prevention measures to help keep your home free of any infestations. Here are three of our top wildlife prevention tips that you should follow.
- Install motion sensors. Lots of different types of wildlife are startled when you notice them. You can take advantage of this by installing motion sensors that turn on a light or emit a noise they don’t like when they walk by them. This will send a message to them that your house is not one to try to enter.
- Don’t leave trash or food around. Leaving garbage or food, including dog food, outside your home is essentially creating an invitation for wildlife to come onto your property. One of the most widely talked about forms of wildlife prevention is ensuring your property is clear of food and debris so that wildlife won’t see your yard or home as a food source.
- Keep your gutters clean. In addition to cleaning up clutter around your house and yard, don’t let dirt and debris clog your gutters. Doing so can cause water damage to your roof, but it can also create the perfect nesting site for a wide range of different pests.
The better you protect your home from wildlife by taking advantage of prevention tips like these, the better able you are to avoid an infestation or smaller pest problem on your property.
