Your Fall Pest Checklist: Tips from a Tampa Bay Pro
September is a great time to prep your home for the months ahead — before pests really settle in.
We put together this simple, no-stress checklist so you can stop problems before they start.
✅ Outside the Home
• Clean out gutters and make sure water is draining properly
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from your house
• Trim back any trees or bushes touching the roof
• Check doors and windows for gaps or torn screens
✅ Inside the Home
• Store dry goods in sealed containers
• Vacuum behind furniture and inside closets
• Look for signs of rodents in attics and garages (droppings, chewed wires)
• Declutter rarely used spaces
