Pests are pretty good at squeezing in through tiny spaces. Cockroaches can flatten their bodies even flatter than they already are, flies are small, and even larger pests don’t need much room to get in. Rodent exclusion is very important as rats only need a hole the size of a quarter to enter your home. And mice? They only need a hole the size of a dime to squeeze through. It would be impressive if it didn’t mean they were getting in your home. So, having a general contractor or handyman caulk around windows and doors and fill in cracks in your foundation can help. A good pest control company—like Western Pest—will also perform this service while also taking care of the pests that may have come in already.Pests are pretty good at squeezing in through tiny spaces.
