Control Pests and Costs with One Easy Fix

So often in life, you’re presented with an either-or choice. In fact, it feels like most of adult life is just choosing between one thing or another: “Which is the lesser of two evils?” It’s easy to get lost in the morass of these choices. That’s why it’s so refreshing and satisfying when you learn that you can have it both ways. Imagine not having to choose between two great options. You’re probably getting giddy just thinking about it. Well that’s exactly the scenario you face when it comes to pest control and energy costs. Making your home efficient helps save you money and improve the long-term health of your home. The same goes for pest control practices. One easy fix can give you both.

Sealing Cracks to Your Exterior Controls Pests and Costs at the Same Time

During the winter season, temperatures drop and everyone is looking to stay warm. That means outside pests, as well as you and your family. Insects and animals will look for any kind of shelter they can find during the colder months, and your home is probably a pretty good option for them. You want to keep warm air in and pests out. The best way to do this is by examining the exterior of your home. Pests don’t magically spawn inside of your home — they look for a way in. If you’ve got obvious holes or cracks around the outside of your house, these can be easy entry points for pests.

Shoring Up Exterior Cracks Improves Energy Efficiency

Even if you don’t obsess about the design and material composition of your home, you can still appreciate energy bill savings. An efficient home uses less energy, which costs you less as the homeowner. Efficiency is a matter of material selection, but also of how airtight your home is. Sealing cracks around the front door, windows, or roof of your home can prevent your precious (and costly) hot air from escaping.
