Soffits and fascia protect the roof edge and attic, but damage can create openings pests use to enter. Keeping these areas in good repair helps prevent access.

Attic doors, gable vents, and damaged vent screens can create easy access points for pests. Keeping doors sealed and vent screens intact helps prevent insects and rodents from entering.

Chimneys can create openings for pests when caps are missing or gaps form around flashing. Keeping chimney caps secure helps prevent insects, rodents, and wildlife from entering.

Exterior walls and siding protect your home, but cracks or gaps can allow pests inside. Sealing openings and maintaining siding helps limit common entry points.

Windows and doors often develop gaps as seals wear down. Maintaining weatherstripping and repairing screens helps reduce common pest entry points around frames and thresholds.

Small openings often form where plumbing, wiring, or HVAC lines pass through walls. Sealing these gaps helps block pests from entering unseen areas of the home.

Garage doors can leave small gaps underneath or along the sides. Installing tight seals and door sweeps helps reduce openings pests may use to enter.

Landscaping close to or touching the home can give pests easy access to walls and entry points. Keeping plants trimmed and clear of the home helps reduce pest pressure.

Cracks in foundations, crawlspaces, or slab edges can create entry points for pests at ground level. Sealing openings and maintaining these areas helps prevent insects and rodents from entering.
