Landscape Properly
Keep any branches and shrubbery trimmed properly and if you use firewood, keep it raised 5 inches off the ground and 20 feet or more away from the house.
Ventilate
Make sure that any garages, crawl spaces, attics, and basements are ventilated properly in order to reduce the chances of the pests harboring in there. You can keep a dehumidifier there as well and install screens in chimney vents and attics.
