Winter Pest Preparation Summary (≤1480 characters):
This year’s colder-than-normal winter is driving more pests indoors, making early preparation essential for UK homeowners. As temperatures drop, rodents, cockroaches, spiders and pantry pests actively seek warmth, shelter and food inside homes — especially in attics, basements, kitchens and storage areas. Protecting your property begins with sealing all entry points: fill gaps around doors, windows, vents and pipe penetrations, add mesh to air bricks, and install draft-proof door sweeps to block common access routes. Reducing indoor humidity, storing food in airtight containers, and keeping clutter to a minimum removes the conditions pests rely on to survive through winter.
