Seal up any spaces and Cracks:

• Does your garage door close firmly on the ground? Are there any gaps in your garage window or even the dryer hose vents to the outside space?
• Carefully examine the weather stripping at the bottom of your garage door to ensure that it is not worn off or damaged.
• Go to your garage with a discerning eye to figure out where the pests are getting in, and seal up those spaces.
• Walk around the outside as well, sealing up any cracks by using caulking to fill any gaps or holes near your windows and doors. Ensure that you do a thorough job to avoid further infestation.
• It alone will make a significant difference in the number of insects and other pests in your garage.

The outside and yard:

• Look at what do you have stored adjacent to your garage. If you keep the recycling bins or a pile of yard waste near the house, this could attract insects that eventually wander into your garage.
• Pull any mulch away from the outside wall, and if you have to store anything outdoors until garbage day, keep it away from the house.
• Another consideration is water pooling near the outside wall of the garage. *t could attract wildlife that might decide to move in your garage or even attic.

Declutter:

• Clutter and also dust make pests feel right at home. Spiders, snakes, and other creepy-crawlies tend to want to hide in tiny little nooks and crannies. The typical garage offers many such spaces! Cleaned your garage and get everything organized. You might consider keeping a can of insect spray nearby in case you find a happy family of six- or eight-legged critters.
• If you have reason to believe that you might find a snake, wear boots and gloves. If you find rodent droppings, clean them up with care, as they could harbor illness.
