Between insects and wild animals, you, your loved ones and your home is at risk. Rodents, pigeons and other such wild animals can come into your home or on top of it, and potentially cause damage to the structure, or the commodities of your home and attack your possessions.  On their quest for food, water, and nesting constructs, your home and the contents therein, can be gnawed through, scratched and destroyed in a short time, leaving you with costly repairs.  Most wild critters can easily transmit disease, usually through their fecal matter, contaminating exposed food, and the surfaces you prepare food. Insects such as; scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, crickets and ants are other common annoyances that can bring with them their own devastation.  Insects can easily destroy the building and your belongings, spreading diseases, flaring up allergies, and delivering painful and perhaps venomous stings and bites. In a nutshell, safeguarding your home from pests is better for your home and your health.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior Tips<\/h2>\n<p>\t\u2013 Inspect your home from top to bottom and all around.
