Why Professional Home Sealing Against Pests Offers Great Value
Having a home sealed can help prevent pests from entering the property. Many insects and rodents enter homes through unsealed doors, windows, and cracks in the walls. Sealing a home prevents these pests from gaining access to the house and causing an infestation.
Here are the different aspects of home sealing for pest control:
What is home sealing?
Home sealing is a technique that prevents pests from entering a house or a property. This procedure involves sealing cracks, gaps, and holes in the home's exterior. It also prevents pests from entering the house by sealing the windows and doors.
Benefits of home sealing
Having a home sealed can have numerous benefits. Besides keeping vermin away, it also reduces the house's energy consumption. Home sealing can help prevent water damage and make the property more secure.
Preventing pests
By removing the entry points into the home, pests will no longer be able to enter and carry out their usual activities. Home sealing is a great way to keep rodents and bugs out of the house.
Saves energy
Sealing a home is a wise investment because it prevents heat and air from entering and leaving the house. It saves money in the long run and helps maintain the home's comfort levels.
Prevents water damage
Plumbing leaks can often be identified and fixed during home inspection for the sealing process. Spotting these leaks can help prevent the issue from worsening and causing thousands of dollars worth of damage.
Increases security
Home sealing protects the home from bugs and increases security by ensuring all entry points are sealed from potential intruders. For example, if a hole appears in the window screen, it could be a way for burglars to access the property.
How to seal the home
Door
Seal the door with a door sweep. The sweep should be tight and aligned with the floor's saddle, which is the plate that runs across the door's opening. It should not interfere with the door's closing or opening.
A good quality weatherstripping kit is recommended to protect the top and sides of the sliding door. These products can be pre-assembled to create a uniform seal on the door.
Window
It's important to keep windows closed at night to prevent insects from entering. Screened windows can also help prevent pests from crawling into the house.
Wall vents
Some vents have screens installed, but others do not. Unscreened vent holes are wide enough to accommodate rodents and bugs. Consider enclosing the duct with a mesh screen.
Carpets
There are often gaps between the floor and the wall in rooms with a carpet that can allow bugs to get in. These gaps can be sealed by applying a coat of weatherstripping or a roll of compressed backing rod.
