For us here in the south, the fall season is long-awaited and thankfully, it’s almost here. Fall is a welcomed change for many of us with its beautiful colors and crisp weather. However, for many pests, the change in season means seeking shelter from the cold months ahead. Pests like rodents, spiders, and cockroaches are just as enticed by the warmth inside your home on a cool winter’s day as you are. The fall season is meant to be a joyous one, and it can be with proper fall maintenance from the professionals and some preventative measures to keep your home safe and bug-free.
Preventative Measures
Now is the perfect time to prep your house for the changing of the seasons. The first step in guarding your home against unwanted fall pests is to examine entryways for any pest activity. Be sure to inspect for any holes in window screens, gaps under doors, and ant colonies on the pavement surrounding your home. Your attic insulation should also be surveyed as many pests can enter your home by chewing through insulation.
Once you have thoroughly surveyed all entryways, take note of what you observed, and call the pest control professionals. Our experienced team at Russell Pest Solutions will service your home and establish the proper foundation to effectively prevent fall pests from entering. Involving the professionals keeps you safe and ensures your home stays pest-free.
Continued Seasonal Maintenance
While a pre-fall pest control service will help to prevent pests, it’s important to remain aware of pest activity through the fall and winter seasons. If you are bringing in decorations from the garage for the winter holidays, you may be unwillingly bringing pests into your home. Inspect any boxes or packages that have been left outside before bringing them in. Additionally, make a point to examine the exterior of your home every couple of weeks to make sure the safeguards are still in place. If you notice any pest activity or pest presence, call the professionals to properly assess the situation.
Not only are these pests annoying but they can bring with them diseases and pose serious risks to your family and your home. Taking preventative measures and calling on the pest control professionals at the first sign of pest activity will help prevent any type of infestation during the fall and winter seasons. Russell Pest Solutions guarantees fast and efficient pest control service. If you’re looking to protect your home from unwanted fall pests, our team of professionals is here to help.
