Be on the lookout for the arrival of these unwanted pests:
🐭 House mice — A major concern as temperatures fall; mice may enter homes seeking food, nesting sites, and protection from the cold.
🐀 Rats — Rodents may seek protected areas around homes and buildings as outdoor conditions become colder.
🕷️ Spiders — Some spiders move indoors through cracks, doors, windows, and other openings.
🪲 Stink bugs — Brown marmorated stink bugs seek overwintering sites in buildings beginning in fall and are established in Michigan.
🐞 Asian lady beetles — They can gather on buildings and enter structures to overwinter.
🐛 Boxelder bugs — Another classic fall invader that seeks protected locations in and around structures.
🦔 Moles — Outdoor activity can continue into late fall, although their visibility and activity depend on soil conditions and freezing temperatures.
