Posted on 10.11.11 in Animal Control, Industry Tips

While you can't protect your home or yard from every invading raccoons and other animal pest, there are a number of things you can do to discourage them from entering your home.

• Inspect the perimeter, soffit, fascia and roof you your home regularly.

• Seal any potential entry holes.

• Screen crawl space and attic vents and put a cap on your chimney to prevent raccoon entrance.

• Be on the lookout for signs of animal burrowing or activity when you mow the lawn or garden.

• Locate wood piles and compost heaps well away from your home.

• Treat lawns with a grub-killing insecticide in the summer.

• Don't allow yard debris or leaves to pile up.

• Install animal-proof lids on outdoor trash receptacles.

• Call the ChemTec Pest Control animal pest professionals at the first sign of trouble before animal pests have a chance to become well established.
