If you are like many people, you may feel like you can breathe a sigh of relief during certain times of the year when pests may not seem like an imminent threat. However, this is a mistake. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is; you should be protecting your home and property against pests. This means that during every season, there are measures that you should be taking to keep your home and property pest free. Effective Pest Services is here to share some pest control tips for each season to help you fight against pest infestation.
Winter
It is vital that you never let your guard down during the winter. There are several pests that attempt to gain access to the warmth, food and water that your home offers. Pests like rats, mice, ants, and spiders are all a concern during the winter. Here are some of the prevention tips that can be helpful:
– Seal entry points
– Inspect basements & crawl spaces
– Keep clutter down
– Schedule preventative pest inspections
Spring
This is the beginning of breeding season, and it is imperative that you stay on top of pest prevention. The warm temperature coupled with higher levels of moisture in the air creates ideal conditions for pest breeding.
– Eliminate pests at first sign of activity
– Reduce moisture problems on your property
– Put pest preventative measures in place
Summer
The summer months are the busiest months of the year when pests are thriving. If you haven’t put pest prevention in place to keep pests under control, they can quickly take over. Here are some summer pest prevention tips:
– Store food properly
– Check doors and windows to make sure the screens aren’t damaged
– Keep yards tidy & trimmed
– Secure garbage can lids
– Call experts at first sign of pest activity
– Remove any nesting you see
Fall
The weather will start to take a turn during the fall season. When it cools off outside, it is important that you have pest prevention in place to keep them out. Here are some of the best ways to do it.
– Store firewood far away from the house
– Seal any cracks and gaps in your home’s exterior
– Watch for signs of rodent activity
