What should I do about pest control in my new home?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and the foundation to prevent entry. Keep the kitchen clean and store food in sealed containers. Eliminate standing water inside and outside. Trim bushes and trees away from the house. Schedule a professional inspection for termites, which are common in South Jersey. Address pest issues promptly before they become infestations.
Why It Matters
Pests can cause structural damage, health issues, and expensive treatments if left unchecked. Prevention is far cheaper than extermination.
