In this industry there is a strong misconception among the public that pest control during the winter time is unnecessary. In reality this could arguably be the most important time for pest control services. This is because we focus our inspections and treatments on the inside of our customer’s homes. So why do you need pest control in the winter?
- Pests that can cause damage to homes such as termites and carpenter ants are inside and not affected by the winter time.
- Other less damaging pests such as rodents, and spiders can make their way inside your home.
- Thorough inspections are carried out in and around the home to prevent future pest problems.
- We look through attics, crawl spaces, and many areas that homeowners are unaware of that pose serious pest threats.
- Winter pest services help us get your home ready for spring treatments.
- Identify entry points, create a barrier around your home
- The three things that cause pesticides to break down (light, moisture, and heat) are less a factor during the winter than any other time during the year.
Any good, year round pest control program will include a comprehensive winter service performed by your technician. It’s a crucial element of protecting your home and keeping it pest free year round.

To prevent pests you need to do three things. You have to get rid of food sources, water sources and living areas. One of the first steps is removing and cleaning up any food waste, standing water or clutter. You should also check the outside of your home to make sure you do not have anything that may be drawing pests to your home. Wood should be stacked of the ground and away from the house; garbage bins should be tightly closed; tree branches should not be touching the house.
