Pests of the Fall

Megan Pinneo

The warm weather hasn’t left Riverside and San Diego’s North County, even though it’s technically the Fall Season. Never the less,  Fall Pests are just around the corner, and some frankly never left. It has been a busy year for the pest control industry, not seeing much of a break in pest calls in the passing months. Good thing for business, bad news for home owners. 

Wondering what to expect this fall from the pest population?

Many rodents and insects will be making their way indoors as the cold weather weather creeps in.

How prepared are you?

Pests of Fall 

  • Cockroaches- They are moving indoors as the weather cools down in search of food. 

  • Spiders- Feels like those are one of the ones that never left this year. 

  • Mice/Rodents- Just like roaches, rodents are making their way indoors searching for food and warmth. 

  • Bees- Most bees are preparing for the winter ahead by collecting nutrients from the late blooming flowers for their colony. 

  • Wasps- They are in search of sweet and high carbohydrate fruits. 

How to Prevent the Fall Pests:

There are a few key ways to help prevent yourself from infestation for most all pests. 

  • Stay clutter free!! KEEP it CLEAN!! Reduce the places insects and rodents have to hide, and nest. 

  • Vacuum, and mop regularly.

  • Take out trash nightly. Don’t forget about any trash left in the garage. The garage and storage areas are apart of your home too. 

  • Keep food in properly sealed containers.

  • Check the attic and crawl spaces every two weeks for any signs of infestation. 

  • Seal any cracks in the walls. Check for gaps in doors and windows. Replace torn screens.

  • Trim back branches and bushes. Do not allow tree branches to hang onto the roof. This is a highway for rodents. 

  • Call your local Pest Control Company if you have any concerns. Ask if they offer any type of pest inspections. Black Knight Pest Control offers a Pest Inspection for concerned home owners!
