If you’ve been wondering how to keep animals out of your home, there are several steps you can take to beef up security.

For example, gaps and holes in your home are not only warm welcomes for animals in the wild and common home pests, they’re also opportunities for increased energy bills and damaging moisture.

Weatherproofing your home for wildlife is not only necessary, but cost-effective. Here are ways to weatherproof your home for wildlife.

Check the Foundation
