Pest inspections

Don’t let the title mislead you: pests can attack you homes any time of the year they choose to do so. However, we are placing emphasis on autumn in this particular post mainly because the winter season is almost here, and second, because autumn is one of the best times of the year to have a pest inspection conducted. Why is this so?

For one, autumn is the beginning of the cold season. That being said, many pests and insects are now looking for a nice, warm place to spend the winter and avoid the harsh and freezing environment outside. And where else are they supposed to find such a place? Well, your house makes for an ideal candidate. Your heating system should provide them with enough warmth to avoid freezing, and those little nooks and crannies in your basement, attics, or in between you plywood walls makes for a nice nest.

Another reason is that since the holidays are just around the corner, your cupboards and fridge and trash bins will most likely be filled with all sorts of goodies for holiday parties and leftovers from those parties. Pests are not choosy eaters, and will almost always eat everything that they can get the teeth on. At this point, it is also worth noting that rats and mice chew on electrical wires, and you don’t want your heating system to go down in the dead of winter.

All these and more are what invites pests and critters into your home, making them uninvited guests for your holiday parties.  To ensure that you do not any of these unwanted holiday guests over, it best that you have your homes checked for pests by a pest control company. They should be able to help you identify the various possible entry points and secure or seal them up to ensure that pests have no way into your homes. Furthermore, they should be able to identify if you already have pests in your homes, and deal with the problem right away before the holidays set in.

With the help of a professional pest control company, you can assure yourself of a worry free holidays, as well as a clean and pest free house to greet the New Year to come.
