Check for areas around your home and garage where animals could borrow or nest including your patio, fireplace and furnace chimneys, overhangs, siding, areas of windows, fan and dryer exhaust vents, attic and crawl space entrances etc.
Keep garage doors closed when not in use.
Cover window wells with the plastic covers that allow natural light to get to the area, but prevents small animals, birds, amphibians and from falling in and dying. The covers also protect the downstairs areas from heavy rain and seeping moisture.
Cover fireplace & furnace chimneys. Chimney covers can be used year round and not affect chimney drafts.
Keep all domestic pet foods inside the home or garage in secure metal containers with covers. Remember many animals can chew through plastic containers.
Keep garbage covered. Try using bungee cords for closing tops that are not secure by themselves.
Before mowing, check your lawn for nesting bunnies, baby birds, or small amphibians. Make sure your lawn service is instructed to do same.
