How to Prepare Your Garage for Winter Pest Prevention

Garages can become an important pest entry point as Orange County temperatures fall. They often combine exterior access, storage and potential food sources in one space.

Inspect the Garage Door

Check the bottom seal and lower corners for gaps or damage.

Secure Stored Food

Pet food, bird seed and grass seed should be stored in sturdy containers with secure lids.

Organize Storage

Reduce cardboard and leave room to inspect along walls.

Look for Evidence

Droppings, gnaw marks and disturbed packaging can indicate rodent activity.
