- Items stored against the house, dead trees, and stumps are all welcoming habitats to unwelcomed guests
- Any pet food placement outside your home could also attract pests
- Pet entry ways into your home

Inside your home:

- Pet bedding and food needs to be cleaned and stored properly
- Be aware of cracks, crevices and void areas (under vanities, behind plumbing, etc.)
- Areas of moisture (roof leaks, leaks under sinks, etc.) can provide a food source for termites and other pests; be on the lookout for any potential water leaks in your home.
