Many people tend to believe that they should “pause” their quarterly pest control in the winter. It is easy to think all has died off and we can pick back up in the spring. Well, as much as we wish this were true, its not. Just as we are seeking the warm shelter of our home, some critters and insects are too! In fact, some pests like cockroaches, pharaoh ants and spiders are more prominent in the winter months and search for warmth inside homes to ensure their survival. Rodents are also more of a problem in the colder months as they are trying to stay warm.
Our top 3 reasons to keep pest control in the winter:
1. Spiders and rodents are problems 12 months out of the year and seek inside shelter as it gets colder. Remember, they can fit through any small cracks and crevices and can nest or lay eggs in a place they find comfortable (i.e.- your basement, your attic, your closet!). Rodents can cause a lot of damage and carry diseases.
2. Keeping up with maintenance year-round prevents widespread infestations in and around your home in the spring. This will help prepare for a more pest free home during spring and summer.
3. Our technicians will stay ahead of any water leaks that could cause termites or any other moisture seeking insects during the winter months.
Remember, keeping up with preventative maintenance can save you money and stress by catching problem areas before it becomes a bigger issue. Click here to learn more about our quarterly plans.
