Many homeowners and property owners assume that pest control is unnecessary as soon as the cold weather rolls in. We can verify that pests do not pack up and leave – if anything, it encourages them in. It starts with a few crawling insects making their way indoors, which will attract mice and other rodents inside for warmth. The team at A&M Pest Control is here to walk you through the winter pest control process, and answer any questions you may have!
Mice and rats
Mice and rats are rodents that we can guarantee will want to find their way into your home or business this winter. We all have heard the crawling in the walls and squeaking in the night – it’s possible to rid your home of them once and for all! Mice and rats can easily enter through any tiny opening or crack – they can even enter your attack and cause damage to electrical wires.
Wood destroying insects
Carpenter ants and termites will absolutely destroy your home from the inside out if you ignore any potential threat of these wood-destroying insects. If you find carpenter ants indoors during the winter, that in itself is a huge indication that there may be a nest inside the walls or floors. Even worse, it could mean that there is damage to the wood somewhere. We can help you with the termites in your home!
Dormant insects
If you think that your home is free of pests, you might want to think again. In the fall, many insects find nests in attics or basements and hide away from the late fall to early spring. Insects such as spiders, flies, ladybugs, and many more will remain dormant in your attic and easily get by without getting found. Once the weather warms, you will find them making their way into your living spaces – contact us to prevent this from happening today.
Webs and Nests
Removing any unnecessary webs and nests throughout your home can be an easy way to prevent anything from spreading. Nests like these carry egg cases that hold hundreds of insect babies. Help prevent pests from reemerging in your home when the weather becomes warmer by going through and swiping those corners and windowsills. Some insects are even programmed to return to certain areas in your home, but removing webs is a good way to ensure that they don’t return.
