Pest Prevention Tips for Homeowners in Edmonton
Protect Your Home Year-Round with Pest Link
Your home should be a safe and comfortable space — not a hiding place for pests. In Edmonton, changing weather conditions and seasonal shifts can attract a variety of unwanted guests, from ants and spiders in the summer to mice and voles in the winter.
At Pest Link Edmonton, we believe that prevention is the best form of pest control. Here are expert tips every homeowner can use to keep their home pest-free all year long.
1. Seal Entry Points
Pests can squeeze through even the smallest openings. Inspect your home’s foundation, doors, windows, vents, and utility openings.
✅ Tip: Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal gaps and install door sweeps to prevent rodents and insects from entering.
2. Keep Food and Waste Secure
Pests are always searching for easy food sources. Store food in airtight containers, clean up crumbs, and don’t leave pet food out overnight.
✅ Tip: Take out garbage regularly and use bins with tight-fitting lids — especially in kitchens and garages.
3. Manage Moisture and Leaks
Damp areas attract pests like cockroaches, ants, and silverfish. Check for plumbing leaks, fix drips, and keep basements and bathrooms well-ventilated.
✅ Tip: Use a dehumidifier in humid rooms to discourage pest activity.
4. Trim Vegetation Around Your Home
Bushes, shrubs, and tree branches close to the house can act as bridges for pests.
✅ Tip: Keep at least a one-foot gap between exterior walls and vegetation, and clean up leaf piles and debris where insects nest.
5. Store Firewood and Outdoor Items Properly
Firewood, garden equipment, and outdoor furniture can harbor insects and rodents.
✅ Tip: Store firewood at least 20 feet from the house and off the ground.
6. Regular Cleaning and Decluttering
Clutter provides shelter for pests. Organize basements, attics, and garages, and vacuum regularly.
✅ Tip: Use sealed storage bins instead of cardboard boxes — pests love cardboard!
7. Schedule Regular Pest Inspections
Even with the best prevention, pests can still find their way inside. A professional inspection ensures early detection and treatment before infestations grow.
✅ Tip: Book seasonal pest control services with Pest Link Edmonton for year-round protection and peace of mind.
