Keep Pests Out This Season
As temperatures drop, pests seek warmth and shelter indoors, turning your home into their winter hideout. Unlike summer infestations that thrive outdoors, winter pests actively invade homes, making pest control crucial for homeowners.
Why Do Pests Invade Homes in Winter?
Winter pests are driven by three main survival needs:
✔️ Shelter – They need a warm place to escape the cold.
✔️ Food – Many insects and rodents struggle to find food outdoors.
✔️ Moisture – Leaks, condensation, and damp storage areas attract pests.
By addressing these needs, you can prevent an infestation before it starts!
Common Winter Pests in Arizona
🔴 Rodents (Mice & Rats) – These pests squeeze into tiny openings as small as a dime, chewing through walls, wires, and insulation. They spread diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella and multiply rapidly.
🪳 Cockroaches – Seeking warmth and moisture, roaches thrive in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. They contaminate food and trigger allergies, making them a serious health concern.
🕷 Spiders – While most are harmless, Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders pose serious health risks with venomous bites. They hide in dark, undisturbed areas like closets, garages, and storage bins.
🐛 Carpet Beetles – Often unnoticed, these pests feed on clothing, carpets, and upholstery, causing damage over time. Stored holiday decorations and firewood are common ways they enter homes.
🛏 Bed Bugs – Although they aren’t strictly seasonal, holiday travel spreads bed bugs during winter. They hitchhike on luggage, clothing, and furniture, making them a growing problem for Arizona homeowners.
Winter Pest Prevention Tips
Want to keep your home pest-free this winter? Follow these expert-recommended tips:
✔️ Seal Entry Points – Close gaps around doors, windows, vents, and utility pipes. Even the smallest cracks can let pests inside!
✔️ Eliminate Moisture – Fix leaky pipes, condensation buildup, and damp storage areas to prevent roaches and rodents from nesting.
✔️ Declutter Storage Areas – Spiders, mice, and other pests love hiding in piles of boxes. Keep garages, attics, and basements tidy to reduce infestation risks.
✔️ Store Food Properly – Use airtight containers for grains, pet food, and snacks to prevent roach and rodent infestations. Take out the trash regularly to avoid attracting pests.
✔️ Inspect Firewood & Holiday Decorations – Shake out stored items before bringing them indoors. Pests hitchhike inside through decorations, boxes, and woodpiles.
✔️ Schedule Routine Pest Control – The best way to prevent infestations is through seasonal pest control treatments. A professional can eliminate existing pests and provide long-term prevention solutions.
