Check your roof- Since you are probably aren’t on your roof always it can be easy to forget that this is where a lot of animals can enter the house. Always ensure that chimney caps are present and that it is tight so no animals even squirrels or raccoons or even rats can fit in.
Check your Yard- Trees with branches touching your house especially the roof can be an issue. Insects and other pests can essentially use this as a gateway to enter parts of the home. Check garbage cans-always make sure that it is enclosed securely. Big animals like stray dogs or even bears can invade your home searching for food.
