Prevention Tips

Check out these tips for preventing household pests, pest infestations and the potentially dangerous health and property threats they pose. Find out how to prevent bugs and rodents from entering your home, how to avoid outdoor insects like mosquitoes and bees and how to protect your family and property from disease and property damage.

•Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home including entry points for utilities and pipes.
•Keep tree branches and shrubbery well trimmed and away from the house.
•Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry.
•Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.
•Repair fascia and sofits and rotted roof shingles; some insects are drawn to deteriorating wood.

Installing Leaf Defier

It's that time of year...

Leaves are falling, dont clean your gutters! Let Craig Thomas Pest Control take care of it for you! The Craig Thomas team is prepared to clean your gutters and install the product, Leaf Defier. Leaf Defier is an insert, specially shaped and cut to fit snugly into your gutter. So, how does it work? When it rains, water flows through the Leaf Defier® into the gutter valley and out the downspout. Leaves and debris slide off the surface or just dry up and blow away.

Below is a Leaf Defier installation in progress:
