The Best Pest Prevention is Winter Pest-Proofing
Many homeowners believe that the onset of winter will bring an end to their pest woes. They associate pesky pests with the spring and summer and think that the house does not require pest control in the cold weather. However, contrary to popular belief, pests are a year-round problem, and ignoring or avoiding pest control during winter can result in severe infestations.
Pests such as spiders, bugs, cockroaches, ants, and rodents stay active in winter and seek warmth and shelter to protect themselves from the frigid temperatures. The warm indoor home environment provides them a perfect haven for winters.
Prevention is the key when it comes to dealing with pests. Here are a few efficient ways to pest-proof the home in winters and deter them from invading the property this winter:
Seal all cracks and holes
Pests can enter homes even through the smallest of holes or improperly sealed cracks. Use caulk to seal all cracks and other potential entry points outside the home (foundation or walls) to prevent pests from sneaking inside.
