Most homeowners check their doors and windows for gaps — but pests often slip in through much more surprising routes.
Common but overlooked entry points include:
- Dryer vents
- Gaps behind siding
- Roof returns
- Attic soffits
- Basement utility penetrations
- Chimney caps
- Garage door seals
Small openings allow rodents, insects, and even wildlife inside. Sealing these areas, installing mesh screens, and adding door sweeps go a long way in pest reduction.
