The Town of Milton is reminding residents that fall weather is around the corner and that comes with some issues.
In a Public Service Announcement, the Town covers a number of topics:
Properly secure waste
- To help minimize visits from pests and rodents, properly store waste and organic compost in bins with tight-fitting lids.
- Refrain from leaving food scraps around your yard.
Maintain yard and remove clutter
- Eliminate potential nesting spots for pests and rodents by regularly trimming weeds and tall grass around the perimeter of your property and clearing leaves and wood piles.
- Frequently clear out clutter from your garage and basement.
- Avoid creating water sources for pests by repairing leaky faucets and emptying all standing water from buckets, birdbaths and gutters.
Seal and inspect all entry points
- Inspect your home’s exterior for any cracks, gaps or holes that would allow pests and rodents entry into your home.
- Seal and cover these areas with durable materials that would be difficult for pests and rodents to chew through.
Be mindful of pets
- Be sure to consistently clean up after your pet and refrain from leaving pet food outdoors as it may attract pests and wildlife.
