Winter pest prevention in Pittsburgh

When temperatures drop, pests look for warmth, water, and food—and your home can become the best option on the block.

The 10-minute checklist

1. Seal obvious entry points: gaps around doors, windows, and utility penetrations.
2. Reduce moisture: fix drips, add a dehumidifier in damp basements, clean gutters.
3. Cut off food sources: store pantry items in sealed containers, keep trash closed.
4. Garage basics: don’t leave pet food, bird seed, or cardboard piles sitting.
5. Perimeter focus: keep leaves and clutter away from the foundation.

If you want a simple prevention plan (not a one-off reaction), our Pittsburgh program is built around ongoing prevention.
