Keeping pests out of your gutters can be a challenge all year long. No matter what season it is, pests can get in your gutters and cause problems. Here are some essential things you can do to keep pests out of your gutters.
1. Remove debris frequently
Having debris in your gutters can attract pests. Things like leaves, twigs, dead bugs and water can make it seem like your gutters are good homes for pests, and they will want to come live there.
Avoid this problem by cleaning out your gutters regularly. If you have a ladder and don’t mind climbing up and taking care of the problem yourself, then go for it! If that’s not your thing, then hiring a professional will be your best bet.
2. Trim trees, shrubs, and bushes
If you have tall trees or shrubbery that grow close to your house, they could be leading the way for pests to crawl into your gutters. Trim back these plants, and get rid of any nests in the trees while you’re at it. This will eliminate pests, and deter them from going for your gutters.
3. Install gutter guards
Gutter guards are designed so that you never have to clean your gutters – ever. They are a permanent solution to all kinds of pests that you might encounter. There are all different kinds of guards that are made of different material. There are foam, sponge, mesh, wire, and plastic gutter guards. You can choose whichever ones you like and install them yourself. Again, if climbing up a pretty high ladder isn’t your thing, you can hire a professional to install the gutter guards for you.
