There’s a chill in the air, the sweaters are coming out of storage… and guess what? Pests love sweater weather, too.
As soon as temperatures drop across North Carolina, pests like mice, spiders, cockroaches, stink bugs, and lady beetles start making their move indoors. And as technicians at Advance Pest Control, we see it every single year. Fall and winter are prime time for pests to trade the outdoors for your warm, cozy home.
What Happens When It Gets Cold
Rodents are some of the first to make their way inside, squeezing through gaps as small as a dime. Spiders weave webs in quiet corners, garages, and basements. Overwintering pests like stink bugs and lady beetles camp out on siding before slipping in through tiny cracks once it gets colder. They’re not just seeking shelter — they’re setting up shop.
Our Techs’ Best Advice
The best way to beat them is before they get in. From our view in the field, fall is the season for proactive pest control.
Here’s what Advance Pest Control Tech’s recommend:
-
Seal gaps around doors, windows, vents, and crawl spaces.
-
Keep firewood and trash bins away from your exterior walls.
-
Store pet food in sealed containers.
-
Schedule a quarterly pest control service to build a protective barrier.
