In this episode of Bug Busters Pest Pulse, host Court Parker tackles one of the most overlooked yet serious threats to home health and safety: wildlife and rodent intrusions. As temperatures drop and pests seek shelter, your home becomes an inviting target — and without the right defenses, you may not know they’ve moved in until it’s too late.
You'll learn:
The most common rodent and wildlife entry points — from dime-sized wall gaps to attic vents and utility line gaps
How pests exploit tiny vulnerabilities in your home’s structure to find food and shelter
The critical role of door sweeps, screen repairs, vent covers, and weather stripping in keeping rodents out
Why tree limbs, firewood piles, and damaged mortar can turn your home into a wildlife welcome center
We also break down how rodents like mice and roof rats climb, squeeze, and chew their way into homes, why attic spaces are a hot zone for intrusion, and how small repairs can stop big problems before they start.
Plus, learn why working with a professional pest control team is the most reliable way to ensure your home is secure — and what a comprehensive inspection and prevention strategy really includes.
Whether you're prepping your home for the colder months or already hearing the signs of movement in your walls, this episode gives you the tools to act confidently and effectively.
