Why Fall Pest Control Matters

New Pests in the Fall

As the weather cools down, pests like rodents, ants, and spiders start seeking warmth inside your property. Fall is the perfect time to prevent these pests from becoming a problem before winter sets in. Here are some common pests that invade properties during the fall:

• Ants – Ants are often on the move as they search for food sources, particularly in kitchens.
• Asian Lady Beetles – These pests look for warm places to overwinter and can cluster in large numbers inside your property, particularly around windows and light-colored walls.
• Box Elder Bugs – Box elder bugs gather on warm surfaces during cooler months and may slip inside through gaps, cracks, or poorly sealed doors and windows.
• Rodents – Mice and rats can squeeze through tiny cracks in your walls to find shelter and food.
• Spiders – Spiders seek shelter in basements, attics, and other quiet, hidden areas of your property.
• Stink Bugs – These insects seek warm properties as temperatures drop, often finding their way indoors through small openings.

How to Prepare Your Property

• Seal Cracks and Gaps: Inspect the exterior of your property for cracks or holes, especially around windows, doors, and pipes. Seal these gaps to prevent pests from sneaking inside.
• Remove Clutter: Pests love to hide in piles of clutter, so keep your attic, garage, and basement organized to reduce hiding spots.
• Store Food Properly: Keep food in airtight containers, and clean up crumbs and spills right away to avoid attracting pests.
• Proper Waste Disposal: Make sure your garbage cans have tight-fitting lids, and regularly dispose of trash to avoid attracting pests.
