Fall Pest Control Tips for 2018

Now that the weather is cooling down many of us will be spending more time indoors. This means unwanted guests will want to come inside too. From rodents to insects, here are some helpful tips that will better equip you to keep your home pest-free.

Fall Pests That are Commonly Encountered:

Rodents

Mice and rats that have been making their homes outside will be seeking a warm place to make their winter nests. If your home becomes a target, they will find a way inside, making a big mess and putting your household at risk of disease.

Recognize the Signs

Rodents typically make their nests in walls, closets, pantries, and attics. Look for droppings, gnaw marks, and scattered materials like paper or furniture stuffing.senske-fall-pest-control

Rats and mice will often chew through insulation, walls, wires, and get into food containers. They are known to carry diseases and leave behind toxic feces.

Prevent Rodents

Flies

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean that bugs will go away, they just come indoors. Insects like flies will be looking for warmth and they often find it in your home where they may also find food.

Prevent Flies

 

Stinging Insects

Cold weather makes food scarce for bees, wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets. If you have a garage, shed, barn, or a similar structure on your property, chances are these stinging insects could have moved their nest inside. Because of the lack of food, yellowjackets may become more aggressive so use caution

Ants

Like other common pests, ants will be looking for food and warmth in the fall season. If they don’t make a home in your house, they will at least be coming inside in search of food.

Prevent Ants

Cockroaches

Dark, damp places are a cockroach’s favorite habitat. Basements, attics, or garages are common places to find a cockroach infestation. Your best bet against cockroaches is maintaining a clean home. The fewer places that a cockroach has to hide or find food the less likely they will stick around.

Prevent Cockroaches

  • Remove unnecessary clutter from your garage, attic, or basement
  • Dry out moisture that could have collected indoors
  • Avoid leaving food or garbage out where it can be found by pests
