Check the exterior for any of these openings and seal them up with caulk. Pay close attention to areas around windows and doors, since gaps tend to form there more often. Seal up any cracks or gaps in your home\u2019s foundation as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check Pipes, Vents and Drains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/13\/rat-and-mouse-infestations-may-cause-serious-health-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rodents<\/a> can get into your home through small openings around pipes, vents and drains. Tighten the seals around these parts of your home in order to keep these rodents out of your home this winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Debris Away<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remove garbage, weeds and other debris that\u2019s close to your home\u2019s exterior.
