Slug Prevention
If slugs are invading your yard and garden, place pie plates of beer around the area most affected. Slugs are attracted to the beer and will die in the plate.
Mouse Prevention
Seal all entry holes to the house with steel wool especially along the foundation and utility entry points.
Rat Prevention
Eliminate harborage areas, such as brush piles in the yard. Keep animal feed in metal containers with lids. Don't leave cat and dog food out over night.
Bedbug Prevention
Never buy or accept a used mattress or bed frame. If doing any traveling, inspect suitcases and clothes before entering the house.
Spider Prevention
Remove with a vacuum all visible spider webs in basement, etc.
Pantry Pest Prevention
Seal all flour and baking products in plastic containers with lids. Rotate your stock as you purchase new products.

Fix all leaks as soon as possible. Keep firewood stacked up and away from the house.
Millipede Prevention
Use a dehumidifier in basements and attached garages.
