Keeping your
building resistant to dust and critters is one of your highest priorities:
1. Seal
up your exteriors and inspect them annually. Check your walls, roofs, and
foundations for holes and penetrations.
2. Seal
up your interior baseboards to keep critters from moving around should they get
into your building.
3. Your
building should make it difficult for critters to find food and water. Keep
water out, keep your plumbing and ductwork from leaking. Keep the food in
sealed containers. Keep your waste in sealed containers. Keep wood and paper
from getting wet.
These steps can
reduce your expenses associated with pesticides and critter removal vendors.
If budgets would
allow, use HVAC filters with MERV ratings of 6 to 8. ASHRE 35% or better.
