Cooler weather doesn’t mean the pests disappear.
In fact, when temperatures start to drop, many pests begin looking for exactly what your home provides:
🏠 Warmth
💧 Moisture
🍽️ Food
🛏️ Shelter
Mice, spiders, cockroaches and other unwanted pests can find surprisingly small entry points around your home including gaps around doors and windows, cracks in the foundation, utility openings and garage entry points.
Before pests settle in for the season, take a look around your home.
✔️ Seal cracks and gaps
✔️ Keep firewood away from the house
✔️ Clear leaves and debris away from the foundation
✔️ Check door and garage seals
✔️ Keep your ongoing pest protection up to date
