Pest Control Tips For Winter

1. Wipe Out Pest Habitats

The interior and exterior of your home are potential pest living spaces. Inspect inside and outside to eliminate opportunities for animals and insects to enjoy food, water, or shelter. Clean gutters and downspouts, eradicate compost and rock piles, and store firewood away from your home.

2. Seal Cracks & Openings

Pest ControlYour warm and toasty house is easily accessible to creepy crawlies through cracks and openings. Inspect your home’s exterior for worn weather stripping, old caulk, and broken screens. Double check attic vents, which are favorite hiding places for birds and bats. Do you see rotted wood or broken concrete? For simple rodent control, replace it. 

3. Use Professional Treatments & Removal

Whether you experience seasonal pest problems, require wildlife removal, or need quarterly maintenance service, a professional pest control team can administer powerful, proven interior and exterior treatments, so you block pests all year long. From effective prevention of roach and mice infestations to proactive elimination of spiders, earwigs, and millipedes during the holidays, maintenance is the easiest way to prevent an insect or wildlife emergency.
