š Your home doesnāt need extra roommates this fall! š” stink bugs, Asian lady beetles, and other fall invaders are looking for sheltered places to spend the winterāand small openings can give them a way inside.
Here are our two biggest recommendations:
š 1. Seal their entry points.
Seal gaps ¼ inch or larger with quality exterior caulk or other appropriate sealantsābut donāt overlook smaller cracks! Some insects can squeeze through openings as small as ā
inch. Check around windows, doors, siding, and where pipes or wires enter your home. Replace worn weatherstripping and door sweeps, and repair damaged screens. Keep necessary drainage and ventilation openings functional with appropriate pest-resistant screening.
š”ļø 2. Stay consistent with quarterly pest service.
Regular quarterly service helps keep inspections, monitoring, and seasonal treatments on schedule. A properly timed fall treatment can help reduce invading pests, while sealing entry points provides lasting protection. The two work together!
Donāt wait until bugs are crawling across your ceiling to start thinking about prevention. Message Tailor Made Pest & Wildlife to schedule an assessment and get your home ready for fall!
