Winter Pest Control in CT, MA, RI, and NY

With the holidays in full swing, the last thing any host wants to deal with is unwanted guests - specifically household pests such as rodents, ants and spiders.

Pests adapt to the changing environment and seek refuge indoors during the colder months. During the winter, rodents, such as mice, become one of the most common invaders and can cause serious property damage in and around the home.

Mice can squeeze through spaces as small as a nickel making it easy to get into homes through cracks and crevices. Once inside the home, pests can cause major problems including tearing insulation, chewing electrical wires, contaminating food and leaving unpleasant odors.  It is vital for you to protect your family and home during this time of year by having a professional exterminator help with winter pest control in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York.

Tips for CT, MA, RI, and NY winter pest control:

  • Seal up any cracks and holes on the outside of your home including areas where utilities and pipes enter your home.
  • Screen vents and openings to chimneys.
  • Keep tree branches and shrubbery well trimmed and away from the house.
  • Inspect boxes, grocery bags and other packaging thoroughly to curb hitchhiking insects.
  • Keep basements, attics and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry.
  • Store garbage in sealed containers and dispose of it regularly.
  • Store fire wood at least 20 feet away from the house and five inches off the ground.
  • Repair fascia, soffits and rotted roof shingles; some insects are drawn to deteriorating wood.
  • Replace weather-stripping and repair loose mortar around basement foundation and windows.
