Trim tree branches and shrubs at least 18 inches from your home. Clear leaf litter, mulch buildup near foundations, and dead wood from your yard. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away and off the ground. In West Plano, mature landscaping often gives pests a place to hide.
Check your Plano home for gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, torn screens, and spaces under doors. Even tiny openings let in insects and mice. Seal them with weatherstripping, door sweeps, caulk, and steel wool. Plano’s soil can shift and create new gaps. Check your seals each season.
