Pests are never a welcome experience in any home. If you find your Cape Cod residence has unwanted visitors, it can be essential to know what you might expect. While there are a variety of pests that might enter your home, mice and insects are most common. What is it about these pests that draw them in? Prevention is ideal, but you may find yourself needing to rid yourself of these winter pests on Cape Cod.
Mice or Rats
Mice and rats are pests seeking somewhere to get out of the cold, making winter the most common time for their invasion. Mice and rats also find food, water, and a safe space to sleep in Cape Cod homes. This means that some basic prevention means ensuring that food gets put away and pet water bowls are empty when you go to bed. Sealing all food, including pet food, in tight containers can prevent mice from finding what they’re looking for and making your home their permanent residence.
Spiders
Arachnids, or spiders, are another common winter pest found on Cape Cod. It is important to note that most spiders in the area are harmless and simply seek a warm place to stay. However, not many people are inviting spiders into their homes. The presence of spiders can also indicate that there is enough food for them to eat – meaning that you could have another insect problem. While it isn’t really possible to prevent spiders from seeking warmth, you can aim to get rid of their food source.
When to Use Pest Control
Pest control can become overwhelming if you fail to stay on top of it. Although you can actively attempt to prevent pests on your own, it gets more complicated when pests show up. If you find it too time-consuming to prevent pests as a DIY project, you may want to reach out to a knowledgeable pest control expert for some help. Pest control not only eliminates the presence of pests but provides prevention methods that are proven to keep unwanted visitors from your home.
