What Type of Pests Are Most Common During Winter?

Rodents of all types will be on the lookout for a safe, warm haven where they can pass the winter months without being exposed to the elements. Unfortunately, this haven is generally your home, and the amount of damage that can be caused within your walls and to your attic and insulation can be astronomical if you don’t take quick action. It’s usually easy to tell that they’re around due to unusual noises and the appearance of droppings.

Climate controlled homes are wonderful for humans, but they also make your house much more inviting to unwanted visitors such as cockroaches and structure-infesting ants. Ants and roaches remain active during colder months and seek refuge inside your home, so winter temperatures will not allow these infestations to be “swept under the rug.” Like rodents, ants and roaches are enticed by food sources, so make sure counter tops are clean, carpets are vacuumed, floors are swept, and food is stored in a way that’s inaccessible to pests.
