The garage is one of the easiest ways for pests to get into a Eureka home, and one of the most overlooked. Damp, cluttered, and often left open, it is an ideal entry point. Here is how to lock it down.
Why the garage is vulnerable
The garage door seal is a common gap for rodents and insects, and stored boxes, tools, and clutter give pests cover. On the coast, dampness in the garage adds to the appeal.
Seal and dry
Replace worn door seals and weatherstripping, seal cracks in the walls and around pipes, and reduce moisture with better ventilation. These steps close the easiest routes inside.
Declutter and store smart
Keep storage off the floor and in sealed bins rather than cardboard, which pests nest in. Sweep regularly and keep the space tidy so problems are easy to spot.
When to call an exterminator
If you find droppings, nests, or a steady insect presence in the garage, a local exterminator can treat it and seal the entry points so pests do not move from the garage into the house.
