It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing, the weather starts turning cooler, and most people begin spending more time indoors. Unfortunately, little critters and insects may also begin seeking out warmer confines and more temperate climates. You will definitely want to have the place treated by a Nassau County pest control expert, but there are a few steps you can take to help deter these unwelcome guests from making your home their winter resort.
Take a peek around the perimeter of your house or apartment. Make sure there are no openings that present an open door for small rodents or insects. Be sure to take a closer look at areas around doors and windows. Not only will correcting any of these issues help prevent pests, but it will also provide some weatherproofing that can cut heating costs.
You’ll also want to check any foliage that you have near your home. Brush any leaves or plants away from the exterior. Many rodents and pests will head to these areas for their meal, then decide to check-in at your place, since it’s so convenient.
Also, check for any moisture in the home. This is a key for preemptive rodent control. Spring and summer weather combined with weak areas in foundations and roofs are particularly conducive to harboring moisture. Basements and attics, then, can offer a nice, dark, quiet place that is quite appealing for a critter’s winter home.
Call a Nassau County exterminating expert to treat your home or apartment before the chill sets in and you’ll be all set to enjoy a pest-free winter. A professional rodent and pest control technician can also offer tips that are specific to your home to further deter any infestations over the coming months.
