Recently, I was enjoying a lazy Sunday on the sofa when my husband suddenly jumped out of his seat - he'd just seen a mouse. By the time I’d had the chance to take in what he’d said, the little guy had scuttled away and was nowhere to be found. But the experience was a little too wild for our liking and got us wondering how to pest-proof our home for winter.
Of course, we don’t blame the mouse for taking shelter in our home. During the winter months, pests of all kinds - from mice and rats to slugs and cockroaches - try to hide from the harsh winter elements. And by keeping our house warm in winter for our own comfort, we’d also created a desirable environment for pests.
