Did you know that your landscape can affect whether or not bugs enter your home?
If you have trees or shrubs that are touching the side of the house, it can act as a bridge for ants, termites, or other insects. This also applies to tree limbs against the roof, which is one of the most common entry points for pests. Any cracks or gaps in the shingles can let them in. Also, heavy ground cover such as leaf buildup, weeds, or other foliage against the house can be a hiding place for rodents and insects.
There are many reasons to maintain your landscape, but pest prevention is one of the most important. If you have any questions, let us know!
