Bats

Think that Count Dracula’s friends are haunting your home? There are 13 species of bats in Florida, don’t let these pests find their way into your home. Be sure to check all openings or entries in your home, especially your chimney if you have one to make sure that they can’t make their way in.

 

Rats

In addition to being unpleasant to look at, rats carry diseases and pose a health risk to the people you love. They can also be incredibly destructive; chewing through walls, insulation and electrical wiring. If you have rats in your home, contact a professional pest control company in your area to help you eliminate them. They will help identify the entry points for rats, locate their nesting areas, and get them out of your house without causing more damage to your home.

 

 

Spiders

Northeast Florida is home to a wide variety of spiders which makes keeping them out of our homes that much more difficult. Homeowners should be careful when moving items that have been sitting for a long period of time. Keeping an area, like a shed, organized and clutter-free can help alleviate spider issues. The outside of your home should also be inspected seasonally for any openings that spiders can enter your home from.
