Fix leaky faucets. Make sure water drains away from your foundation. Use dehumidifiers in damp basements or crawl spaces. With Wiggins’s waterways nearby, moisture control is extra important. Check sprinkler systems often to stop standing water near your Wiggins home's foundation.
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. Good yard care around Stone County homes cuts down hiding spots for spiders, ants, and rodents.
Check your Wiggins 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. Pay close attention to where utilities enter the building and around HVAC units.
