Pest Prevention # 12 Need to Cut Tree Branches & shrubs that touch home

This is Roger Tinker, Owner and General Manager of All Star Pest Control in Columbus, Georgia. There are many ways that pest can get into your home that can be fixed. I will explore how trees and shrubs around your home provide highways for a lot of different pest to come into your home. Trees that have branches that touch your roof, or any other part of your home are an example of that highway. The first pest that comes to mind is the dreaded Roof Rat. Roof Rats do not borrow in the ground like a Norway does. Roof rats climb and they love to live in your attic and explore inside your home. No tree branches should ever touch your home. Many people recommend cutting them at least six inches from your roof. I think twenty four inches is much better as Roof rats can easily jump at least twelve inches. Tree branches touching the house is the highway for squirrels to make your attic their home. Another pest are ants, You will see ants in trees all the time. If the tree touching your home provides a highway the ants will take advantage of it and come right onto your home. Ants will also travel the branches of any shrubs that are not trimmed away from your house. I would cut any shrubs or any other plant so that there is at least six inches of clearance between your house and these plants. You have got to eliminate that highway into your home. There are other pest that will use this highway to get into your home. These I talked about are just a few, but I hope you see the importance of keeping trees and shrubs from touching your house. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help to you.
