<strong>GV</strong> WELCOMES<br />

K-9 STRYKER<br />

A new officer has joined the Greenwood Village Police<br />

Department and this recruit is working (and playing)<br />

hard to prove he is top dog of the<br />

department. Greenwood Village welcomes<br />

K-9 Officer Stryker! Stryker is a 13-<br />

month old Belgian Malenois who arrived<br />

from North Carolina — the same place<br />

from which K-9 TAG and the late K-9<br />

Magnum joined us. Once he gets settled<br />

with his new handler, Officer Jeff<br />

Mulqueen, Stryker will begin his law<br />

enforcement training in Narcotic<br />

Detection and Patrol to include learning<br />

how to effectively search for suspects. In<br />

addition, Stryker will also be trained to<br />

work with the Police Department’s<br />

Emergency Response Team (ERT, also<br />

known as SWAT). Lots of work and<br />

obedience training will be required before Stryker is<br />

ready to take big bites out of crime in our community.<br />

Once he has<br />

graduated from<br />

K-9 field<br />

training, citizens<br />

will be able to<br />

Ron Rakowsky<br />

meet Stryker<br />

and see him<br />

or attending<br />

special events.<br />

Welcome<br />

Officer Stryker<br />

RAMBLE WITH RON IN SEPTEMBER<br />

Have some ideas or suggestions to share about living or working in Greenwood Village?<br />

Walk and talk with Mayor Ron Rakowsky from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. (weather permitting)<br />

on:<br />

Wednesday, September 13 — Westlands Park, 5701 S. Quebec Street<br />

Thursday, September 18 — Tommy Davis Park, Swim Club Lot, 9200 E. Orchard Road.<br />

Registration is not required. For more information, please call the Mayor’s Office at<br />

Arapahoe County Sheriff and Commissioners, Tri-County Health<br />

Department Executive Director and Greenwood Village Mayor<br />

remembered those who have died from drug overdoses on International<br />

Overdose Awareness Day Aug. 31, 20<strong>17</strong>.<br />

STAND IN SOLIDARITY FOR<br />

OVERDOSE AWARENESS<br />

I have mentioned this before in my report and wanted to urge<br />

everyone to take a stance and support our state’s search of<br />

innovative options to save lives, increase prevention efforts, and<br />

remember those we have lost to accidental overdoses. August 31<br />

was Overdose Awareness Day and I, as mayor, acknowledged this<br />

very important day to support prevention and remembrance.<br />

In 2016, approximately 50,000 people in the United States died<br />

from fatal overdose, 912 of those deaths occurred in Colorado. For<br />

the first time, overdose is now the leading cause death of Americans<br />

under the age of 50. We are losing people that can be saved,<br />

especially our youth. The National Council on Alcoholism and<br />

Drug Dependence states one in four people report knowing<br />

someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. Drug<br />

use does not discriminate by age, race, socioeconomic status or<br />

education level.<br />

Prescription drug misuse and abuse is a serious problem both in<br />

Colorado and the Tri-County Health jurisdiction (Adams,<br />

Arapahoe, and Douglas counties). Each year, overdose deaths from<br />

opioid painkillers alone number around 300 in Colorado and about<br />

a third occur in our three counties.<br />

Such deaths are now more common<br />

than alcohol-related traffic fatalities. As<br />

recently as 2010-2011, Colorado ranked<br />

No. 2 in the nation among young adults<br />

ages 12-24 for self-admitted nonmedical<br />

use of prescription painkillers. Enough<br />

opioid painkillers are dispensed by<br />

pharmacies in the United States to<br />

supply each American citizen with<br />

enough painkilling pills to take one<br />

every four hours, around the clock, for a<br />

month.<br />

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT<br />

PARTNERSHIP BRIEFING<br />

BY CONGRESSMAN COFFMAN<br />

In August, Congressman Mike Coffman gave a congressional<br />

briefing, hosted by Denver South Economic Development<br />

Corporation (DSEDC). I joined the Mayors of Centennial<br />

and Lone Tree, and Commissioners from Arapahoe and<br />

Douglas counties to hear the latest news and updates from<br />

Congress and learn of congressional actions that could<br />

impact our communities, and our local governments.<br />

FIRST PITCH TO<br />

CELEBRATE RENOVATION<br />

OF FIELD 8<br />

Once said Joe DiMaggio, “All pitchers<br />

are born pitchers.” Well, that may not<br />

always be true, nevertheless, it’s a great<br />

quote from an inductee of the<br />

National Baseball Hall of Fame. In<br />

August, I had the privilege of cutting<br />

the ribbon for the grand opening<br />

celebration of the renovation of Field 8<br />

at Village Greens Park in the Village in<br />

partnership with Cherry Creek High<br />

School. Renovations to the field<br />

included work to bring it up to 5A<br />

CHSAA standards for a girls softball<br />

field, including new enclosed dugouts,<br />

perimeter fencing, concession stand,<br />

press box, flagpole and batting cage.<br />

Subsequently, on that same evening, I<br />

was chosen to conduct the first pitch<br />

for the first home game for Cherry<br />

Creek High School softball. My<br />

pitching skills reaffirmed that my<br />

focus around the terms “passion” and<br />

“purpose” should be focused on<br />

cutting the ribbon at ribbon cutting<br />

events not serving as a pitcher for a<br />

softball game. Overall, it was a fun<br />

experience and I won’t be quitting my<br />

position as mayor to further discover<br />

my skills as a pitcher. <strong>GV</strong><br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

TAKE note<br />

LEAF REMOVAL<br />

As we enter into the fall season,<br />

keeping Greenwood Village clean will<br />

continue to be a priority. To assist with<br />

these activities, we ask that you do not<br />

place loose leaves, yard debris or trash<br />

in the street as our sweepers are not<br />

equipped to pick up large piles of<br />

leaves or debris. Moreover, this debris<br />

can be wind blown or inappropriately<br />

washed into the storm systems and<br />

waterways of the Village, which<br />

impacts water quality. Instead, please<br />

look to other options to dispose of this<br />

debris.<br />

• Arrange for your lawn care provider<br />

to remove the leaves when<br />

performing your yard service.<br />

Request that they refrain from<br />

blowing leaves into the street.<br />

• Bag your leaves in compostable<br />

paper yard waste bags and place<br />

them out with your weekly trash<br />

pick up. These bags of leaves will<br />

end up in the landfill and paper is<br />

preferred over plastic which will<br />

WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR<br />

GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />

never break down and is bad for<br />

the environment no matter what its<br />

destination. Republic Services has<br />

no limit as to how many bags of<br />

leaves they will pick up, however,<br />

keep in mind if some bags are left<br />

at the curb they will be returning<br />

once they have unloaded their<br />

truck.<br />

Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street. The street sweeping<br />

equipment is not able to handle branches or large quantities of leaves and grass and<br />

can spread these materials around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when<br />

it rains, these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm drains and<br />

eventually lead to Village waterways<br />

such as streams and ponds. These<br />

materials provide nutrients which over<br />

fertilize the water and encourage harmful<br />

aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which<br />

has a lasting negative impact on water<br />

quality, local ecology and recreational<br />

use of our waterways and is a form of<br />

stormwater pollution. Just like we would<br />

ask you to not throw trash in the street,<br />

it is the same for leaves.<br />

Ace Hardware Cherry Hills<br />

Marketplace at 5910 S. University<br />

Boulevard and Orchard Road has<br />

teamed up with the City of<br />

Greenwood Village to provide<br />

residents with FREE compostable<br />

paper yard waste bags. The above<br />

coupon provides a free 5-pack, while<br />

supplies last. For more information,<br />

please contact Ace Hardware Cherry<br />

Hills Marketplace at 720-974-1080.<br />

• Recycle your leaves at Village<br />

Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped<br />

off loose or in bags between<br />

October 2 and November 3, 20<strong>17</strong>,<br />

in the dedicated area of the north<br />

parking lot any day of the week.<br />

This option is environmentally<br />

friendly with staff spreading and<br />

disking into the soil where native<br />

grass cannot be established adding<br />

nutrients, helping with moisture<br />

and also providing a place for soil<br />

bore microorganisms to live. It does<br />

not impact the landfill and it is cost<br />

effective. No bags are needed and<br />

you do not have to wait until your<br />

trash day to dispose of them.<br />

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS<br />

Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents<br />

on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.<br />

FALL LANDSCAPE<br />

RECOMMENDATIONS<br />

Fall is a great time to prepare your landscape for a healthy<br />

spring to come. Below are some tips from Green Industries of<br />

Colorado:<br />

• Aerate turf to eliminate compaction and improve the<br />

turf’s ability to take up moisture, nutrients and air.<br />

• Fall is the best time of year to fertilize bluegrass lawns to<br />

promote a healthier turf before winter, a healthier root<br />

The boxed area is the drip line, or critical root zone.<br />

system and turf that greens up earlier in the spring<br />

without excessive top growth. Fertilize with nitrogen<br />

sometime during late September to early November.<br />

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper<br />

fertilization.<br />

• October through March: During prolonged dry periods,<br />

water trees once or twice per month, using 10 gallons of<br />

water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. Water only<br />

when the temperature is above 40 degrees and there is no<br />

snow on the ground. Visit the following link to determine<br />

how long to water trees during these winter months:<br />

information and the right programs based upon the needs of<br />

the customer. The utility’s multifamily, community<br />

association, commercial and industrial customers have unique<br />

challenges such as larger properties, commercial processes and<br />

multiple meters.<br />

Denver Water will sit down with you to learn more about<br />

your property and water use. They may ask you about your<br />

property’s water meters, landscaped area, number of units<br />

and major water use areas such as cooling towers, ponds and<br />

pools.<br />

Fill out the form to take your first step toward water-use<br />

efficiency. See if your property is a fit for a water-efficiency<br />

program by completing the consultation form found at<br />

MAKE SURE YOUR<br />

TEEN IS UP-TO-DATE<br />

ON IMMUNIZATIONS<br />

TO STAY HEALTHY<br />

As children and teens head back to school, Tri-<br />

County Health Department (TCHD)<br />

encourages parents to ensure that your child is<br />

up-to-date on all their immunizations, including<br />

the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine.<br />

According to the American Academy of<br />

Pediatrics, adolescents are less likely than<br />

younger children to receive all the recommended<br />

vaccines. This often happens because teens don’t<br />

visit the doctor as frequently as young children,<br />

parents may not know certain vaccines are<br />

needed or families may not know all the benefits<br />

of newer immunizations, like the HPV vaccine.<br />

Every year, more than 31,500 women and men<br />

are affected by a cancer caused by HPV. That’s a<br />

new case about every 20 minutes. The HPV<br />

vaccine is an effective way to prevent some of<br />

these cancers, and studies of the vaccine show no<br />

serious safety concerns, according to the Centers<br />

for Disease Control and Prevention.<br />

The CDC recommends 80 percent of teens receive the<br />

vaccine to keep the entire population healthier. Colorado’s<br />

rates are far below that level at less than 60 percent of<br />

adolescents vaccinated against HPV. That means our teens<br />

may be at a higher risk.<br />

In addition to the HPV vaccine, teens and preteens are often<br />

due for two doses of vaccines to prevent meningitis, a dose of<br />

TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis) and an<br />

annual influenza vaccine. If they have missed any of their<br />

earlier vaccines, such as hepatitis B; hepatitis A; measles,<br />

mumps and rubella; polio or varicella (chickenpox), these<br />

immunizations may be recommended as well.<br />

Immunization appointments are available at your local public<br />

health clinic. To make your appointment today at Tri-County<br />

Health Department, please call 303-451-0123. For more<br />

information please visit our <strong>web</strong>site at www.tchd.org. <strong>GV</strong><br />

FEATURED<br />

‘LAKE OF FIRE’<br />

This summer the<br />

Cultural<br />

Arts<br />

Program<br />

partnered<br />

with the<br />

Arapahoe<br />

Libraries to<br />

present the first<br />

ever Village<br />

Read. The idea<br />

encourages adults<br />

of all ages to read<br />

one book and<br />

participate in<br />

thought-provoking<br />

discussions and activities derived from the<br />

chosen book. The goals of the program are<br />

to encourage leisure reading, create<br />

community conversations and bring the<br />

community together through literature.<br />

For our first year, the book Lake of Fire by<br />

Colorado author Mark Stevens was chosen<br />

as this year’s Village Read book. Set in<br />

Colorado, the story follows hunting guide<br />

Allison Coil as she tries to find out what<br />

happened to a body found after a wildfire<br />

ravages the Colorado Flat Tops.<br />

Activities included a book discussion with<br />

Mayor Ron Rakowsky, several guest<br />

speakers and lectures on topics related to<br />

the book including foraging in Colorado<br />

and fighting wildfires and writing<br />

workshops conducted by the author.<br />

Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to meet<br />

the author and expand their knowledge<br />

from the many guest speakers.<br />

The program concluded with a concert in<br />

Curtis Park with special guests Let Them<br />

Roar, who hail from where our book takes<br />

place, and The Cody Sisters. Over 250<br />

attendees enjoyed music, free ice cream<br />

food trucks and a tequila tasting, the main<br />

character’s favorite drink.<br />

The Village Read is expected to continue<br />

next summer. Stayed tuned to hear more<br />

HIGH LINE<br />

CANAL TRAIL<br />

USERS<br />

SHORT DETOUR<br />

PLANNED FOR<br />

SIX MONTHS<br />

Due to the Harrison<br />

Oaks development<br />

construction consisting<br />

of 11 single-family<br />

residential lots in the<br />

rural area of Greenwood<br />

Village, there will be a<br />

short detour for High<br />

Line Canal trail users so<br />

that a new pedestrian<br />

and a vehicular bridge<br />

can be safely installed<br />

over the High Line<br />

Canal. The detour was<br />

implemented in late<br />

August and may be in<br />

place for up to six<br />

months.<br />

In order to construct this<br />

necessary infrastructure,<br />

approximately 40 trees will need to be<br />

remove along the canal, many as small<br />

as six inches in diameter. Based on the<br />

2016 inventory, there are over 23,000<br />

trees greater than six inches along the<br />

length of the 71-mile High Line Canal<br />

corridor, with nearly 2,500 of these<br />

located in the section of canal that<br />

runs through Greenwood Village.<br />

Harrison Oaks was required to<br />

compensate Denver Water, the owner<br />

of the High Line Canal, for the loss of<br />

these trees. Denver Water is investing<br />

back into the overall care and<br />

management of the trees and 71-mile<br />

corridor by:<br />

• Providing continued support for<br />

the Community Vision Plan, of<br />

which Greenwood Village and all<br />

other jurisdictions along the canal<br />

are signatories of.<br />

• Using recently gathered data to<br />

more effectively and proactively<br />

manage the existing trees along the<br />

canal corridor. The increased level<br />

of management will begin in the<br />

fall of 20<strong>17</strong>/winter of 2018.<br />

• Working with the High Line Canal<br />

Conservancy and other<br />

jurisdictional partners, such as<br />

Greenwood Village, to initiate a<br />

comprehensive tree care master<br />

plan and develop landscape<br />

guidelines that reflect the<br />

Community Vision Plan.<br />

• Ensuring that any new tree<br />

plantings happen at a time, and in<br />

a way that will promote the longterm<br />

success and alignment with<br />

the future of the canal corridor.<br />

NEW PLAN<br />

FOR TREE CARE<br />

ALONG THE<br />

HIGH LINE CANAL<br />

The High Line Canal Conservancy,<br />

Denver Water and leadership from<br />

each of the jurisdictions along the<br />

Canal’s reach (all part of the High<br />

Line Canal Working Group) are<br />

working together to take an important<br />

step to improve the Canal landscape:<br />

initiating a comprehensive tree care<br />

plan for all 71 miles. The tree care<br />

plan prioritizes safety for users and<br />

long-term health of the trees. This tree<br />

care plan will be followed by the<br />

creation of landscape guidelines and<br />

implementation plans, including<br />

drought tolerant plantings and other<br />

landscape enhancements.<br />

During the summer of 2016, the High<br />

Line Canal Working Group completed<br />

a comprehensive tree inventory<br />

project. This project identified,<br />

mapped and assessed all trees with<br />

diameters greater than six inches along<br />

the High Line Canal corridor. Data<br />

was collected on 23,677 trees<br />

throughout the High Line Canal<br />

corridor, which has served as a<br />

valuable tool in assessing the health of<br />

the tree canopy.<br />

Conclusions drawn from the tree<br />

inventory have led to immediate<br />

(Phase I) and long-term planning<br />

(Phase II) to preserve and enhance the<br />

Canal tree canopy. On the immediate<br />

side are the highest priority trees,<br />

which need to be removed or pruned<br />

due to dead and unsafe conditions.<br />

Certified tree service professionals<br />

assigned categories of tree conditions<br />

based on the severity of health of the<br />

trees, which includes recommended<br />

actions to improve tree health along<br />

the Canal. Visit highlinecanal.org/treeinventory<br />

for more details on the tree<br />

data.<br />

The High Line Canal Conservancy is<br />

working closely with Denver Water<br />

and the jurisdictions to:<br />

• Establish and monitor standards for<br />

removal and pruning that fulfill the<br />

Community Vision Plan for the<br />

High Line Canal.<br />

• Coordinate the accounting of each<br />

jurisdiction’s investment in the<br />

project.<br />

• Leverage private funding to ensure<br />

long-term, high-quality care of the<br />

entire tree canopy.<br />

• Manage the tree data gathered<br />

along the Canal corridor.<br />

Removal and pruning of trees as part<br />

of Phase I are expected to begin in fall<br />

20<strong>17</strong>/winter 2018. There may be some<br />

disruptions to the trail during this<br />

time.<br />

ONUS iV HYDRATION<br />

5425 Landmark Place • Open 10 a.m. Daily<br />

720-4<strong>17</strong>-9590 • www.onusiv.com<br />

Have you been exhausted, run down,<br />

or depleted of energy? Affected by jetlag,<br />

altitude sickness, or perhaps a<br />

hangover? Or have you experienced<br />

muscle cramping or felt the onset of a<br />

minor cold? If you answered yes to any<br />

one or more of these conditions, then<br />

the common practice of IV<br />

(Intravenous) infusion therapy may be<br />

just what your body needs!<br />

With the July opening of Onus iV in<br />

The Landmark in Greenwood Village,<br />

a licensed staff of medical professionals<br />

can now administer a variety of IV<br />

“cocktails” to help your body combat<br />

and prevent these ailments and many<br />

more. IV hydration therapy (also<br />

known as infusion therapy) is a<br />

common, low-risk procedure used by<br />

doctors, nurses and paramedics to<br />

rehydrate the body intravascularly,<br />

bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. In<br />

short, it’s the fastest, most efficient<br />

delivery method to distribute vital<br />

fluids and nutrients throughout your<br />

body.<br />

Three avid mountain bikers (Kristy<br />

Anderson, Chaz Faulhaber and Dr.<br />

Benjamin Wilks) founded Onus iV<br />

Hydration in 2015, and from their first<br />

location in Denver have helped over a<br />

thousand individuals counteract<br />

conditions that can impede their active<br />

lifestyles. The Village community was<br />

selected for their newest location<br />

because of its active lifestyle and quality<br />

of life. Dr. Wilks, co-owner and<br />

founder of Onus IV is a current Board<br />

certified emergency room physician,<br />

practicing at Longmont United<br />

Hospital, in addition to being on staff<br />

for C.U. Health at their satellite clinics.<br />

He has rigorous requirements for his<br />

staff in their credentials and<br />

background.<br />

“Our licensed team of physicians,<br />

nurses and paramedics provide IV<br />

services in a relaxing “non-medical”<br />

environment,” said co-owner Kristy<br />

Anderson. “Throughout Denver and<br />

the Colorado Front Range, we offer<br />

customized services for athletes,<br />

business travelers, and those seeking<br />

overall health and wellness. This<br />

incredible health tool yields immediate<br />

results because you are receiving a<br />

better absorption of vitamins,”<br />

exclaimed Kristy.<br />

Upon entering their office, you will<br />

embark upon a truly unique<br />

experience. Wooden paneling and<br />

native Colorado materials accent the<br />

walls and décor. The lighting and<br />

accoutrement of the décor invoke<br />

recreation, relaxation, and renewal. IV<br />

units are hung from climbing ropes<br />

and timber wooden panels surround<br />

you. Their treatment space and VIP<br />

room feature a comfortable lounge<br />

experience with reclining chairs, Netflix<br />

or X Box options, and fuzzy blankets<br />

and organic tea complement your<br />

relaxation. The staff will quickly obtain<br />

a medical history and have you<br />

complete a questionnaire upon your<br />

arrival to assess what hydration therapy<br />

best fits your individual needs. They<br />

will obtain your blood pressure, temp,<br />

pulse, oxygen, and vitals.<br />

The Onus iV procedure delivers the<br />

full effect of every vitamin and<br />

compound your body needs. Most<br />

infusion rates need between 30-45<br />

minutes, however every body is<br />

different. Because they are bypassing<br />

your GI tract, the effects are typically<br />

felt within the hour of treatment. Some<br />

of their treatments are designed for<br />

long-term benefits (cold and flu<br />

defense, athletic preparation/muscle<br />

OH RATS!<br />

EASY TIPS TO<br />

PROTECT YOUR HOME<br />

AND PROPERTY<br />

Rodents such as mice and rats can find<br />

refuge in your home whether in the<br />

kitchen, attic, basement, or dining<br />

room through the smallest opening or<br />

crack, and require very little space to<br />

travel inside. Rodents seek shelter<br />

indoors, especially during the cooler<br />

fall and winter months, and once<br />

inside can cause more than just an<br />

unpleasant infestation. Rodents put<br />

homes at risk for electrical fires by<br />

gnawing through wires and they<br />

frequently serve as vectors, carrying<br />

bacteria, such as salmonella, on their<br />

bodies and contaminating food<br />

sources, kitchen surfaces and<br />

equipment.<br />

Once rodents get comfortable, they’re<br />

difficult to relocate. Results won’t<br />

happen overnight but given time and<br />

consistent efforts, reductions are<br />

possible. Fortunately, there are many<br />

ways homeowners can proactively<br />

prevent and get rid of rodent<br />

infestations in their homes.<br />

ELIMINATE FOOD,<br />

WATER, AND HARBORAGE<br />

FROM YOUR HOME<br />

Step 1: Remove Sources Of Food<br />

And Water<br />

Mice and rats are opportunistic feeders<br />

that will eat any food discarded by<br />

humans. Eliminating their food and<br />

water source is critical to controlling<br />

them.<br />

Indoors<br />

• Clean up spilled food in cupboards<br />

and on floors.<br />

• Keep counters and food<br />

preparation areas clear of food at<br />

night.<br />

• Keep all food packages tightly<br />

sealed.<br />

Outdoors<br />

• Pick up trash and discarded food.<br />

• Keep tightly sealed lids on garbage<br />

cans.<br />

• Store pet and bird food in sealed<br />

containers.<br />

• Prevent flooding from sprinkler<br />

heads.<br />

• Keep all foliage trimmed and neat.<br />

• Overgrown bushes are prime<br />

habitat for rats.<br />

Step 2: Eliminate Rodent Habitats<br />

In And Around Your Home<br />

Indoors<br />

• Clear out boxes and other clutter in<br />

basements and storage areas.<br />

• Store materials off the floors on<br />

shelves, wherever possible.<br />

Outdoors<br />

• Remove clutter and debris.<br />

• Keep grass, shrubs and other<br />

vegetation around your home<br />

trimmed.<br />

• Trim overhanging trees that create<br />

shadowy areas where rodents feel<br />

protected.<br />

Step 3: Prevent Rodents From<br />

Entering Cracks And Crevices.<br />

Identify areas that need to be sealed or<br />

blocked. It’s important to remember<br />

that rats can fit through an opening<br />

around the size of a quarter and mice<br />

can squeeze through an area smaller<br />

than a dime, so be sure to conduct a<br />

thorough inspection of your home —<br />

inside and out.<br />

• Repair holes in the foundation of<br />

your home, garage or other affected<br />

buildings as well as interior walls.<br />

• Seal cracks and holes on the outside<br />

of the home, including areas where<br />

utilities and pipes enter the home,<br />

using caulk, steel wool or a<br />

combination of both.<br />

• Seal any openings over one quarter<br />

inch — particularly around doors<br />

and windows.<br />

• Screen vents and openings to<br />

chimneys.<br />

• Install self-closing devices on<br />

frequently used doors.<br />

• Install vinyl or rubber seals under<br />

garage doors to eliminate gaps.<br />

• Weather-strip gaps in doorways<br />

leading into buildings.<br />

• Make sure that the areas around<br />

pipes, drains and vents are tightly<br />

sealed.<br />

• Cap chimneys and keep them in<br />

good condition.<br />

• Keep attics, basements and crawl<br />

spaces well ventilated and dry.<br />

• Replace loose mortar and weather<br />

stripping around the basement<br />

foundation and windows.<br />

• Eliminate all moisture sites,<br />

including leaking pipes and clogged<br />

drains that provide the perfect<br />

breeding site for pests.<br />

• Inspect items such as boxes, grocery<br />

bags and other packages brought<br />

into the home.<br />

• Store firewood at least 20 feet away<br />

from the house and keep shrubbery<br />

trimmed and cut back from the<br />

house.<br />

As you go about plugging, sealing, and<br />

repairing your home, you can use a<br />

variety of rodent-proofing materials to<br />

complete the job, including:<br />

• Steel Wool<br />

• Hardware Cloth<br />

• Perforated Metal<br />

• Galvanized Sheet Metal<br />

• Cement Mortar<br />

If you suspect a pest infestation in<br />

your home, contact a licensed pest<br />

professional to inspect and treat the<br />

pest problem. If you spot evidence of a<br />

rodent infestation, do not hesitate to<br />

act to handle the problem. Rodents are<br />

known to reproduce quickly, and a<br />

small problem can turn into a big issue<br />

overnight if left untreated. <strong>GV</strong><br />
