As the weather cools down, you might see fewer mosquitoes and think ticks are no longer a concern. But did you know that ticks can stay active in cooler temperatures and actually become a bigger issue in the fall? Meanwhile, mosquitoes don’t completely disappear, they hibernate, ready to return when it warms up. This makes fall a key time to strengthen your defenses against pests.
By continuing pest control treatments now, you’re not just preventing these pests from getting cozy in your home, you’re also stopping them from laying eggs or establishing nests that could lead to bigger problems in the spring. At Bee Friendly Pest Control, we’re committed to keeping your home pest-free without harmful pesticides. Follow these simple steps to protect your home and the environment this fall.
1. Seal Cracks and Gaps
Pests like mice and spiders can sneak into your home through tiny cracks in doors, windows, and walls. Check for any openings and seal them up to keep pests out! This easy fix can go a long way without using chemicals that could harm the environment.
2. Keep Your Home Clean
Pests are drawn to food, so make sure your kitchen is clean. Store food in sealed containers and wipe down countertops to get rid of crumbs. A clean house means fewer pests, and it’s a win for your family and the environment!
3. Manage Moisture
Damp areas like basements and bathrooms are a paradise for pests. Fix any leaky pipes and ensure good ventilation to keep these spaces dry. This helps stop pests from moving in without the need for toxic treatments.
4. Use Natural Repellents
Instead of chemicals, use natural options like essential oils to keep pests away. Peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus are great choices that are safe for your family and the pollinators we all need, like bees.
5. Take Care of Trash
Pests love garbage! Keep trash bins tightly sealed and take them out regularly. For compost bins, make sure they’re far from the house. This keeps unwanted critters away without creating a mess.
Understanding how weather changes affect pest activity can help you take effective measures to keep them in check.
