    other. Placement of the trap may limit the amount of wrong critters that you catch. Perhaps a live trap and then decide once its caught if you want to release it or not.

    But you should make a trip to the local health office if they are a real issue and not in your own home.

    and hail. Look for granules in gutter or splash guards, missing or lifted shingles, water stains on the roof decking in the attic. Recommend a professional to climb on the roof if you spot any of these issues. Make sure they are licensed and insured (call their agent listed on the policy to confirm)

    Thanks so much for your response, Paul. When you mention that you cleaned the gutter guards, ...»
    what specifically did you do to clean them? We too will have to clean the roof because pine needles accumulate up there, but neither my husband nor I are up for the job so we would have to hire someone. We'd also have to get someone to do the cleaning you referenced so I want to get an idea of how much effort it took to clean them. Also, the product sold on Amazon is called LeafsOut rather than LeafBlaster. Did you get the product you installed on your house from Amazon or from another retailer?

Hey Hometalkers, here's a question for ya.

A lot of folks focus on gutter cleaning this time of year. Most want to do less of it and are considering gutter guards. Question is, are they worth the cost?

Whether you clean your gutters yourself, or invest in one of the many types of gutter guards, one thing is certain: cleaning your gutters is a good idea. Besides allowing water to overflow in a heavy rain, there are a dozen or more severe home defects that can be caused by blocked gutters, including flooded basements and ...»

Keep Your Roof Free of Debris To Avoid Costlier/Extensive Repair Later

Often many aspects of home will go overlooked. One part we definitely cannot overlook is our roofs. Debris on a roof can cause premature failure. It prevents the roof from draining/drying out in a timely manner. Bugs such as ants may build nests in the debris and actually bore holes into your roof. Fixing minor roof problems like these can help you avoid costlier and more ...»
