What pests are invading your Fall space?
Pests during the fall season tend to change with the falling of the leaves. As you start to put out the seasonal decor you may notice a new pest or two scamper by. Hopefully it isn’t a mouse, though it may very well be since they are hot on the Fall Pest List. Turning over a new month as we jump into October may have some pests jumping into our beds, like bed bugs!
Pests to look out for this Fall Season.
Rodents- Mice, and rats are looking for food and warmth now that the temperature is cooling down. Rodent-proof your home by cutting all branches and vegetation reaching onto your home and roof. Seal off any gaps in the exterior of your home. Repair tears in screens, and keep doors closed as much as possible, including the garage. Placing glue boards in hidden areas can be helpful to catch a rodent on the loose, though you likely will not want to deal with the trapped rat after it has been caught. Your local Temecula based Pest Control Company Black Knight has a special Rodent Division that can take care of any Rodent Infestation, with Rodent Control Service.
Spiders- Spiders are not just a popular Halloween decoration, they are an even more popular pest this fall season. Riverside and San Diego residents will be seeing a rise in spiders around their homes, and businesses this October. While spiders can be seen as one of natures natural pest control systems it doesn’t mean that you want an abundance of them around your property. Having routine pest control service will insure that your spider population does not get out of hand. Black Knight Pest Control treats spiders both for interior and exterior areas of your home or business with Spider Control Service.
Cockroaches- Similar to rodents, cockroaches are making way into your home in search of food, and warmth. Prevent roaches from infesting your home by eliminating clutter, dispose of food properly, and take out the trash regularly.
