Sealing off your crawl space or basement is an integral part of crawl space pest control. Pests like rodents, termites, and other insects love excess moisture provided by basements and crawlspaces. In fact, some pests like termites, mosquitoes, and silver wigs require excess humidity to survive.
Most of the time, pests get into your home through gaps in your home's structure. Sealing up these gaps can help prevent pests and excess moisture from entering the home.
Despite their size, pests can create a ton of damage. Once they're inside your home, they are a nuisance and can be both laborious and expensive to remove. The termite industry is a billion-dollar industry annually.
Additionally, pests spread disease, chew through your home's walls, destroy furnishings, and are unsightly.
