With the colder months in full swing, we notice that homeowners tend to put pest control and prevention practices on the back burner. The control and prevention of pests is something homeowners should continue to do year round. As the colder months approach, insects tend to look for indoor shelter and a food source. During these months, it’s important that homeowners stay cautious and be on the lookout for any signs of unwelcomed pests.
One of most common pests that can cause serious damage to your home are termites. While they’re branded as attacking during warmer months, they have also been known enter and reproduce in homes in the fall and winter.
Another common pest to be on the lookout for are bedbugs. Holiday season is a common time for people to travel and stay at hotels. Bedbugs can be transferred onto your clothing or luggage from hotel beds. To prevent an invasion of bedbugs in your home, check your mattress and box spring for the presence of bedbugs.
