  • Pest ControlSpiders: More than the heat, spiders are attracted to your home by other bugs they can eat. You want to be extra careful with spiders because poisonous types (i.e. the brown recluse or black widow) are known to enter Georgian homes.
  • Squirrels: Although seemingly cute, squirrels often find their way into your garage or attic by chewing through your home’s structure. Once warm, they’ll create a nest in the space and begin storing food. Don’t attempt to stop this problem on your own. Let a pest control specialist find their entry point and seal it.
