Suburban areas have moderate pest pressure due to proximity to both urban food sources and natural habitats.

Homes over 20 years old typically have more entry points, wear, and established pest pathways.

Food Sources 20 pts

Pet food and crumbs provide attractive food sources that can draw various pests into your home.

Moisture Issues 0 pts

🛡️ Personalized Prevention Tips

1

Seal Entry Points in Older Home

Inspect and seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundation. Use weatherstripping and caulk to close gaps that pests commonly use to enter older homes.

2

Secure Food Storage

Store pet food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs immediately. Vacuum regularly and wipe down surfaces to eliminate food attractants.

3

Regular Perimeter Maintenance

Trim vegetation away from your home's exterior, remove debris, and maintain a clean perimeter to reduce pest harborage areas.

💡 Additional Recommendations

Given your high-risk score, consider scheduling a professional pest inspection annually and implementing a proactive treatment plan. Your older suburban home requires consistent monitoring and preventive measures to stay ahead of potential infestations.
