Fall is officially here! Unfortunately fall is prime time for pests, and their activity greatly increases. Rove is here to help with 3 fall pest concerns you should know look out for:
- Wasps: Wasps are a dangerous fall pest that become more aggressive as temperatures drop. They seek out areas with decaying leaves and moisture, which provide food and shelter for their larvae. As food sources dwindle in the fall, wasps become more territorial and defensive, increasing the risk of stings.
-Moles and Voles: Moles and voles can cause significant damage to your yard in the fall if left unchecked. Moles burrow underground searching for insects, while voles feed on grasses and roots. Both pests can cause lawn damage, especially when leaves trap warmth, allowing them to burrow deeper and continue feeding. To prevent issues, keep your yard maintained and remove fallen leaves throughout the season.
-Mice and Rodents: Mice and rodents become a major problem in the fall, seeking shelter in homes, garages, and sheds. They can enter through small gaps as tiny as 1/4 inch, making it essential to seal entry points like doors, vents, and wire holes. While traps can help, incorrect placement or bait can backfire. Professional pest control services, like Rove Pest Control, ensure effective removal and prevention.
