🐀 RATS ON THE MOVE IN NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA!
🎥 Evans Pest Control Featured on NBC10 Philadelphia!
Have you noticed more rats around Mayfair and surrounding Philadelphia neighborhoods?
NBC10 Philadelphia recently joined Beth of Evans Pest Control to discuss the growing concerns about rodent activity and what homeowners can do to protect their properties.
🏘️ Why are rats showing up in residential neighborhoods? Construction and other disturbances may be displacing rodent populations, while improperly stored trash provides an easy food source.
During the interview, Beth demonstrated how something as simple as a small gap beneath a garage door can give rodents an opportunity to enter a property.
✅ A few important prevention tips:
🐀 Keep trash in tightly sealed containers.
🐀 Inspect garage doors, foundations, and exterior walls for openings.
🐀 Install properly fitted, rodent-resistant metal door sweeps.
🐀 Remove food sources, clutter, and potential nesting areas.
🐀 Address signs of rodent activity before an infestation develops.

Something is lurking in the shadows of Philadelphia this Halloween... and it's probably not a ghost! 🌙

Join Bobby BEE for a spooky new episode of What's the BUZZ, where we're uncovering the frightening truth about one of the city's most unwelcome neighbors: RATS! 🐀

From dark, rain-soaked alleys to underground burrows and the walls of our homes, rats are remarkably good at staying out of sight.

🕷️ Here's what makes them so scary:

🐀 Rats can squeeze through surprisingly small openings and establish nests around buildings.

🦠 They can spread harmful germs and contaminate food and living spaces.

🦷 Their powerful, constantly growing teeth can damage building materials and electrical wiring.

🏠 As colder weather arrives, homes and businesses can provide attractive shelter and food sources.

🎬 WATCH THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!

Bobby BEE takes us on a spooky, entertaining journey into the secret world of rats. The episode is packed with surprises, a few scares, and some important pest prevention lessons!

🍂 WHAT MAKES OCTOBER DIFFERENT? THE PESTS KNOW WINTER IS COMING! 🐭🐞

The leaves are changing, temperatures are dropping, and all across Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, pests are changing their behavior, too!

October is a particularly important time for pest prevention because many pests are searching for three things:

🏠 SHELTER — Mice, rats, stink bugs, and other insects are looking for protected places to spend the colder months.

🍽️ FOOD — Rodents are attracted to accessible food sources, from pantry goods to unsecured outdoor trash.

🌡️ PROTECTION FROM THE COLD — As temperatures drop and daylight hours shorten, seasonal changes encourage many pests to seek winter hiding places.

👀 WHAT SHOULD YOU WATCH FOR THIS OCTOBER?

🐭 Mice and Rats — Finding their way into garages, basements, attics, and wall spaces.

🐞 Stink Bugs — Gathering around windows, siding, and exterior walls, looking for places to overwinter.

🍁 Boxelder Bugs and Asian Lady Beetles — Collecting on sunny exterior walls and searching for sheltered entry points.

🐝 Yellowjackets and Wasps — Remaining active around outdoor gathering areas, trash cans, and fallen fruit.

🌿 Ticks — Still active in leaf litter, brush, and wooded areas, even as temperatures begin to cool.

Here's the important part: By the time winter arrives, some of these pests may already have settled inside your home!

✅ October is an excellent time to inspect your property, seal potential entry points, and address pest activity before it becomes a bigger problem.

At Evans Pest Control, we're helping homeowners and businesses throughout Philadelphia, the surrounding Pennsylvania counties, and South Jersey prepare for the changing season.

🍂 Fall Changes More Than the Weather — It Changes Pest Behavior

As temperatures begin to drop across Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, pests start adjusting too.

🐭 Mice and rats begin looking for reliable food, warmth, shelter and protected nesting areas. A small opening around a foundation, door or utility line may be all they need to get inside.

🐝 Yellowjackets and other stinging insects can remain very active during early fall, especially around trash, outdoor dining areas, sugary drinks and other food sources.

🪳 Cockroaches don't take the winter off. Many cockroach species can survive and reproduce inside buildings throughout the year, which means fall activity may point to an existing problem that needs attention.

And then there are stink bugs and other seasonal invaders looking for protected places to spend the colder months.

Simple fall maintenance can help—remove accumulated leaves and debris, trim vegetation away from the building, reduce clutter and keep trash contained. But one of the most important steps is identifying the openings and conditions that allow pests to get established in the first place.

At Evans Pest Control, we help homeowners and businesses identify pest activity, entry points and conditions that can turn a small fall problem into a much bigger winter issue.

🍁 Want to know what pests are doing differently this fall—and what you should be watching for?

🍁 Fall Pest Control Maintenance Starts Before Winter Arrives

As the weather cools, pest activity doesn’t simply stop—it changes.

Mice and rats begin looking for warmer shelter, yellowjackets can remain active around food and trash, and cockroaches may continue living and reproducing indoors regardless of the season. At the same time, stink bugs and other overwintering pests may begin searching for protected places inside homes and commercial buildings.

That’s why fall is an important time to inspect your property and address small issues before they become winter problems.

A good fall pest maintenance plan should include checking for:

• Gaps around doors, foundations and utility openings
• Areas where rodents may find food or shelter
• Trash and dumpster areas around commercial properties
• Leaves, clutter and debris near the building
• Signs of cockroach activity in basements, kitchens or utility spaces
• Active wasp or yellowjacket nests near entrances and walkways

At Evans Pest Control, we help homeowners and businesses identify pest activity, entry points and conditions that may attract pests as the seasons change.

🍂 A little prevention now can make a big difference later.

🦟 MOSQUITOES ARE MORE THAN JUST A SUMMER NUISANCE

A newly confirmed case of locally acquired dengue fever in Florida is drawing renewed attention to the health risks associated with mosquitoes.
The Florida Department of Health recently confirmed that a person in Citrus County contracted dengue locally - meaning the infection was associated with mosquito transmission in the area rather than simply being brought home from international travel.
Dengue is transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes and can cause fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, nausea and rash. While most people recover, severe cases can become serious.
There is no reason to suggest that dengue is currently spreading here in the Philadelphia area, but stories like this are an important reminder: mosquitoes aren't simply annoying. Mosquito populations can carry and transmit disease, which makes controlling them around homes, businesses and outdoor spaces important.
One of the biggest contributors to mosquito activity is something surprisingly simple: standing water. Buckets, clogged gutters, planters, children's toys, birdbaths, discarded containers and other areas that collect rainwater can provide mosquitoes with places to reproduce.
At Evans Pest Control, mosquito management is about more than making the backyard more comfortable. It's about identifying the conditions that allow mosquito populations to develop and taking a professional, proactive approach to controlling them.
🦟 Seeing a lot more mosquitoes around your property? Give Evans a call.

⚠️ A rare tick-borne virus has now been confirmed in New York.

Researchers recently identified the first confirmed New York State case of Bourbon virus, a rare illness associated with the lone star tick. There is currently no vaccine and no specific antiviral medicine for Bourbon virus disease. Symptoms may include fever, severe fatigue, headache, body aches, rash, nausea, and vomiting.

The New York case does not mean there is a Delaware Valley outbreak—but lone star ticks are already present in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, making tick awareness especially important during outdoor activities.

Protect yourself and your family:

🔴 Use a repellent labeled for ticks
🔴 Wear long pants and closed shoes
🔴 Avoid tall grass, leaf litter, and brushy edges
🔴 Check your body, clothing, children, and pets afterward
🔴 Shower soon after returning indoors
🔴 Contact a healthcare professional if illness develops after a tick bite

Evans Pest Control can inspect your property, identify likely tick habitats, and provide practical Integrated Pest Management recommendations to help reduce tick activity around your home or business.

📞 Contact Evans Pest Control at (267) 582-2687 for professional tick-management services.
