Quick Hampton Roads homeowner tip: take a walk around your house this weekend. 🏡
Fall leaves clog gutters and downspouts fast, and standing water and damp soil next to your foundation are exactly what pests look for. Moisture can draw in ants, roaches, mosquitoes, and even termites.
A 10-minute walk-around:
✓ Clear leaves from gutters and downspouts
✓ Make sure water drains away from the foundation
✓ Look for gaps around pipes, vents, and the garage door
✓ Keep mulch and firewood a few inches off the house
