1) Get ahead of rodents ๐:
The CDC estimates that cracks about the width of a pencil is enough for a mouse to squeeze through. The weather is turning cold - fill holes w/ heavy mesh, sheet metal, and other materials mice and rats can't chew through.
2) Weatherize your home๐ช๏ธ:
It's officially hurricane season!! ๐ Have roof inspected for damaged or loose shingles. Seal and Caulk windows. Moisture in the home could escalate to bigger issues.
3) Beat the Fall rush ๐:
Hire professional chimney sweep and have HVAC serviced. Take care of lingering build up from last season and ensure your systems are all-go. Schedule now before the Fall/Winter rush starts.
4) Check safety devices ๐งฏ:
Inspect fire extinguisher hoses for cracks, clogs or corrosion. Make sure pressure gauge is in the green zone. Replace if above fail inspection. Test carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Replace batteries, if needed.
