It may seem tempting to pause your pest control service as the colder months come along and you aren't seeing as many bugs around, but in the world of pest control - there is still a lot to do! Invasive pests and rodents want to be inside your warm home or business for the same reason you do. While some bugs are slowing down after summer, others are just getting started and are looking for a warm place to multiply and grow.
Many pests specifically invade homes and businesses as the weather cools, ensuring that they can survive the winter.
All of the following are common pest populations that boom in the fall:
Rodents: Mice and rats both look to nest in a shelter for the winter. Once they do, they can breed quickly.
Cockroaches: Roaches prefer warm and humid environments, so the warmth of your home is very inviting.
Spiders: Many spiders can survive a freeze on their own, but they are driven indoors in search of bugs to eat that may be seeking shelter in your home!
Make sure your house is properly sealed and any cracks are repaired as we head into winter. We suggest continuing to receive your quarterly pest control which will help you have a more pest free fall and winter!
