Why You Need Pest Control in the Winter

With spring in full swing, that often means that some unwanted visitors come crawling around your home. While pest control may seem to only be an issue during the summertime, it’s essential year-round. Just as you want to stay warm and cozy during the winter months, so do pests! Here are some reasons that we keep servicing your home during the winter months:

Seal Entry Points

Rodents are attracted to warm areas, so they will likely try to come in and take shelter. Part of our winter service includes applying treatments to entryways such as doors, windows, and weep holes to protect rodents from taking refuge in your home. 

Spring Pest Prevention

While you’re resting at home comfortably and cozy, pests are dormant and breeding. By bringing out a technician in the winter months, we can reduce the amount of breeding before the pests become active once it becomes warm. We’ll also clear up spider webs, egg cases, wasp nests, and anything else that will become problematic in the spring.

Consistency of treatments.

Pest control is kind of like laser hair removal. When just applied once, it’s effective, but the effects wear off as it goes untreated. But, the more it is applied over time, the more effective it becomes. If you’re not seeing pests for a while in the winter, that simply means the pest control is doing its job! By not applying pest control in the winter months, you put yourself at risk for an outbreak when it warms up again.

Pests that are living inside your house aren’t affected by the cold outside.

While it’s true that many insects and rodents become less active during the winter months, that does not help with the ones that are already in your house! Insects like termites, carpenter ants, spiders, cockroaches, and earwigs can thrive inside your home, and in places you may not always be such as basements and attics. 

By consistently inspecting the inside and outside of your home, we can help to identify parts of your home that may be at risk of unwanted pests. As always, we promise to come and help with any issue you may have in between our services.
