The Need for Winter Pest Control.

If you think you can take the next five months off worrying about pests in and around your home you may be making a big mistake.  There are a variety of things that home and business owners need to do.  Even if it is primarily to prepare for their reemergence in the spring.  An ounce of prevention now may avoid a pound of cure next year.

Please keep these two tips in mind.  Most pests live in branches and leaves.  While snow may cover up those things it still provides a cozy home for pests throughout the winter.  Make sure to keep fallen limbs and leaves several feet away from your home or building.  If there is a draft in your home, that becomes an entry point for bugs to enter and take up residence during the upcoming inclement winter months.

Things You Can Do To Keep Pests Away

Make sure you inspect your basement, crawlspace, bathrooms, kitchen, attic, and roof to be sure you do not have any water leaks or moisture content. Not only will accumulation of water or moisture cause damage to your property it can also attract pests into your home. To help eliminate dampness in a basement or crawlspace you can set up dehumidifiers to alleviate some of the moisture.

Get rid of clutter. Pests love cluttered conditions since there are so many places for them to hide. Since wintertime can leave you stranded inside with nothing to do, why not go through your storage in your basement and garage and get rid of what you no longer need. Doing this will help you be more organized and also eliminate potential hiding places for pests.
