Winter’s chill drives pests indoors, and your warm home, with its readily available food, is a prime target.
Be on the lookout for common winter pests such as mice, rats, spiders, stink bugs, and German cockroaches.
Even diligent homeowners can face pest issues, particularly during the holiday season, when increased food preparation and gatherings can leave behind tempting crumbs. Pantry pests, like cockroaches and mice, thrive in these conditions.
To proactively prevent winter pest infestations:
- Secure Food Storage: Transfer food to airtight glass or hard-plastic containers. Avoid using thin plastic bags, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap, which offer little resistance to pests.
- Eliminate Food Sources: Immediately clean up spills and crumbs. Pests are opportunists and will capitalize on any available food.
- Maintain a Clean and Clutter-Free Environment: Regularly vacuum, especially in dining and kitchen areas. Promptly sweep up crumbs to remove potential attractants.
- Invest in Professional Pest Prevention: Schedule quarterly pest control services for ongoing protection. Our quarterly plan includes treatments every 90 days, with a warranty covering free re-treatments within that period.
Termites also pose a year-round threat. Despite the cold, they remain active and can cause significant damage. Protect your home with an annual termite inspection. Our termite service includes a warranty for treatment of any new activity discovered during the warranty period.
