Plunkett's Pest Control

👀 What’s hiding behind your appliances?

Stoves, refrigerators, and other kitchen appliances can create the perfect hidden spaces for pests, especially when crumbs, grease, moisture, and small gaps go unnoticed.

That’s why a thorough pest inspection goes beyond the places you can easily see.

A trained eye can spot the signs, find potential entry points, and help stop small problems before they become bigger ones.

🍂 FALL PEST MYTH

Myth: If you don’t see pests, you don’t have them.

Fact: Some of the most common fall pests are experts at staying hidden.

Mice, cluster flies, stink bugs, and other fall invaders can settle into walls, attics, crawl spaces, garages, and other hidden areas as they look for warmth and shelter.

That means you may not always see the pest itself right away, but you might notice the signs.

As the weather cools down, now is a great time to check for gaps, cracks, and other entry points around your home.

If pests are finding their way in, Plunkett’s can help. 💚

Six months in, and just getting started. 💚

We welcomed a group of newer Plunkett’s technicians to our headquarters for Rookie Camp!

Rookie Camp gives technicians another opportunity to sharpen their skills, build confidence, learn from one another, and take the next step in becoming great Plunkett’s technicians.

After a day of training, the group headed to Topgolf for a little team building and some well-earned fun. ⛳

We’re proud to invest in our people and continue supporting their growth long after their first day on the job.

🍰 Happy National Dessert Day!

Whether you’re celebrating with cookies, cake, pie, or something chocolatey, there’s one thing we can all agree on:

Dessert is for you, not pests. 🐜🐭🪰

Crumbs, sugar, and food left out can be an easy invitation for ants, flies, mice, and other unwanted visitors.

So enjoy the treats… and keep the pests off the guest list. 😉

🌾 Pest control looks a little different out here.

Rural properties come with their own set of pest challenges. From homes and outbuildings to equipment and storage areas, mice and other pests have plenty of opportunities to find food, shelter, and a way inside.

Our team takes a closer look at some of the pest problems that come with rural living, and what property owners should be watching for.

Whether you’re in town or miles outside of it, Plunkett’s is here to help keep pests where they belong: outside.

🍂 FALL INVADER OF THE WEEK: STINK BUGS

This week’s featured pest comes with its own built-in defense system.

Brown marmorated stink bugs are shield-shaped insects that enter homes and businesses during the fall in search of shelter from colder weather. Although they don’t threaten people or pets, they can become a major nuisance, and release their signature unpleasant odor when startled or crushed.

If you find one indoors, avoid squishing it!
