Florida winter is here, which makes it's important to take steps to protect your home from unwanted critters. Many animals seek shelter indoors during colder months, and with Florida's mild winters, it's even more likely that critters will find their way into your home. Here are some tips to help keep your home critter-free this winter:

Spotlight on Florida Wildlife: Keeping Critters Out of Your Home This Winter
Seal up any cracks or holes on the outside of your home. This is one of the most important things you can do to prevent critters from entering your home. Look for any cracks or holes around windows, doors, pipes, and vents. Seal them up with caulk or steel wool.
Inspect your roof and gutters for any damage. Damaged roofs and gutters can provide easy access for critters to enter your home. Make sure to repair any damage you find.
Keep your garbage and food scraps stored properly. Food is a major attractant for critters, so it's important to keep your garbage and food scraps stored properly. Use airtight containers for garbage and store food in the refrigerator or pantry.
Remove any bird feeders or water sources near your home. Birds can attract rodents and other critters to your property. If you have bird feeders, remove them during the winter months. Also, make sure to repair any leaky pipes or faucets that may be attracting critters.
Consider using critter deterrents. There are a number of critter deterrents available that can help keep animals away from your home. These can include ultrasonic repellents, mothballs, and traps.
By following these tips, you can help to keep your home critter-free this winter.
