It's fall, and pests are on the move – trying to find a way into your home, where it's safe and warm.

They're not dumb, but they're counting on you to be lackadaisical about [home maintenance in Las Vegas](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/blog/topic/home-maintenance) so they can cause you all kinds of grief, including:

- Getting into your food
- Spreading their germs and disease (mice can trigger salmonella while cockroaches can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms)
- Chewing on your clothing, drapes, bedding and wires (though they prefer cotton)
- Gnawing at and eating through wood (to keep their teeth sharp)
- Blocking pipes and water lines (because they're thirsty)

You have have to think like a mouse and move like a spider to stop fall pests in their tracks. Begin by being extra vigilant about housekeeping before moving on to some proactive strategies – straight from the pros at First Quality Roofing & Insulation.

Gutter cleaning isn’t difficult, but because it involves using a ladder, it requires planning and a commitment to safety. The roof repair professionals at First Quality Roofing & Insulation highly recommend that one person removes leaves, twigs and other debris while someone else holds the ladder. Gutter cleaning should never be a one-person job.
