Fall Pest Control: What’s Happening Now?
Pests in their natural habitat look for shelter as the days become shorter and the weather colder. They’ll look for warm, dry cracks in rocks, wedge themselves under tree bark and find shelter under wood piles.
Fall Pest Control: Your Home Looks Inviting
Your home actually looks like the places pests seek in nature: Warm and dry. That crack in your foundation or under your siding is a welcome mat for pests seeking winter shelter.
Fall Pest Control: When Winter Looks Like Spring
In the Spring the days become longer and there’s more light and warmth, inviting pests to emerge from their Winter shelter. Guess what? As pests burrow into cracks and small openings in your house, and burrow deeper as the Winter becomes colder, they gradually make their way into your home where it is light and warm, just like Spring. This sends them a signal that it’s time to emerge. Only, they’re mistakenly emerging into your home totally happy that it seems like Spring in there. You think they’re invading. They just think it’s time to wake up!

Inspect your home for openings that could invite pests. Is there rotting wood around your home’s foundation or siding? Are there cracks in the foundation? Is there a space under your door, around your windows. Note that mice and rats can wedge themselves through spaces as small as 1/4 inch! Imagine what an ant or cockroach could do! Again, a professional pest inspector will recognize openings the untrained eye could easily miss.
