15 Tips To Help Cool Your House This Summer + Lower Energy Cost

What happens here

Perform a pressure wash of your home's exterior and apply pest control treatments. After winter, dirt, grime, and debris accumulate on siding, creating a need for a 'clean slate' before summer. Pressure washing removes these unsightly layers and dislodges any pests or their nests that have taken shelter in siding crevices. Once the exterior is clean, apply pest control chemicals. You can either hire a pest control service (which may set traps inside and spray perimeter chemicals outside) or purchase and apply the chemicals yourself. Focus the treatment on the house perimeter and any nooks and crannies where pests might enter or hide, preventing them from damaging wood siding and migrating indoors as temperatures rise.

Goal: Clean exterior siding and prevent pest infestation
