Mow Regularly – Keep mowing your lawn but raise the mower blade to leave the grass slightly longer. This helps shade the soil, reducing evaporation and encouraging deeper root growth.
Replace Air Filters – Easy and affordable, replacing your own filters is extremely important to prolonging the engine life of your air conditioning system.
Hose Off and Clean Outdoor Garbage Bins – Animals and rodents have a strong sense of smell, and colder weather can create desperation among certain species. Mice, particularly, have a heightened sense of smell and a wide, varied diet. Cleaning your outdoor garbage bins and removing any temptations can ensure critters don’t set up camp nearby and cause problems in other areas of your home.
Seal Gaps and Cracks – Walk around your home and check for any gaps or cracks in your windows, doors, and foundation. Sealing these with caulk or weather-stripping can improve energy efficiency by keeping the cool air in and the hot air out during the remaining summer weeks. It will also help keep your home warm and cozy when the temperatures start to drop!
