🐜 Tuesday Pest Tip: Trim Back Vegetation Around Your Home 🌿
Overgrown shrubs, tree branches, and plants touching your home can create a direct pathway for pests to enter.
This week, take a look at:
✅ Bushes touching siding or windows
✅ Tree limbs hanging over the roof
✅ Mulch piled against the foundation
✅ Dense vegetation around HVAC units
✅ Ground cover growing against exterior walls
Why it matters:
Ants, spiders, rodents, and even termites use vegetation as a bridge to access your home. Keeping plants trimmed back reduces hiding places and helps prevent pest activity before it starts.
Quick Action Step:
Maintain at least 12–18 inches of clearance between plants and your home's exterior whenever possible.
