What Are The Common Winter Pests
As the winters in Colorado become colder, some pests seek refuge from the harsh weather conditions indoors. Omnis Pest Control is committed to keeping your home and property pest-free, so we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to the common winter pests you may encounter.
Spiders
Firstly, spiders are a common winter pest in Colorado. The cold temperatures drive them indoors, and they often take residence in dark, unoccupied areas such as basements, closets, and attics. While most spiders in Colorado are harmless, some can pose a threat to humans, such as black widows and brown recluse spiders.
Insects
Secondly, insects such as cockroaches, silverfish, and ants also tend to make their way into homes during the winter months. These pests are attracted to warmth and a steady source of food, which can be found in your home. Cockroaches and silverfish can cause damage to clothing, books, and other goods, while ants can contaminate stored food.
Rodents
Thirdly, rodents like mice and rats can also invade homes during winter. They are attracted to warmth and see homes as a shelter from the harsh cold outdoors. These pests can quickly reproduce and spread disease, so it’s important to take action at the first sign of an infestation.
Wildlife
Lastly, some wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, and skunks can also be a nuisance during winter. They may rummage through trash cans, damage gardens, and even find a way inside your home. It’s important to safely and humanely remove these animals as quickly as possible to avoid potential damage and health hazards.
Colorado’s cold winters attract a variety of pests. Omnis Pest Control offers effective and comprehensive solutions to keep your home and property pest-free all year round. Don’t let pests ruin your winter, call Omnis Pest Control today.
What Kind of Damage They Cause To Your Property
Colorado is known for its harsh winters, and unfortunately, with the arrival of winter weather, comes the invasion of various pests that can wreak havoc on your property. Omnis Pest Control is here to help you identify the most common winter pests in Colorado and understand the kind of damage they can cause to your property.
Rodents Chewing
One of the first pests that come to mind during the winter season is rodents. Rats and mice are notorious for making their way into homes and commercial properties, causing significant damage. They can chew through insulation, drywall, and electrical wiring, causing expensive repairs. Additionally, these rodents are known carriers of harmful diseases that can put the health of you and your family at risk.
Spider Webs
Another common winter pest in Colorado is the spider. Although most species of spiders found in Colorado are harmless to humans, they can still be a nuisance and cause structural damage to your property. Some spiders are known to make their webs in hard-to-reach areas, which can lead to clogged gutters, drains, and vents. It’s important to identify the species in your home to understand the level of risk and potential damage they bring.
Indoor Insects
Winter is also the time when many insects seek refuge in cozy, warm homes, including cockroaches, boxelder bugs, and stink bugs. These pests are not only unpleasant to find in your living spaces, but they can also damage your property. Cockroaches, for example, can leave behind bacteria-filled droppings and cause unpleasant odors. Similarly, stink bugs can release an unpleasant odor when threatened or squished, and boxelder bugs can leave behind stains on your furniture.
Damaging Wildlide
Lastly, Colorado winters can be harsh enough to drive wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, and skunks indoors. These animals can cause significant damage to your home, including tearing insulation and ductwork and leaving behind urine and feces.
Identifying and controlling winter pests in Colorado is crucial for the protection of your property and the health of your family. Regular pest inspections and effective pest control measures can help you keep these unwanted guests out of your living spaces. At Omnis Pest Control, we specialize in all types of pest control services to help you keep your home and business pest-free.
Benefits of Quarterly Pest Control For Winter Protection
One of the primary benefits of quarterly pest control is that it helps prevent infestations before they even begin. By identifying and addressing potential pests early on, homeowners can avoid costly and time-consuming efforts to eradicate an established pest problem. Quarterly treatments also offer continued protection against seasonal pest activity, which is especially important during the colder months when many pests seek refuge indoors.
Another benefit of quarterly pest control is its environmentally friendly approach. Omnis Pest Control utilizes eco-friendly techniques and products that are safe for both people and pets. Pest control treatments are tailored to individual homes, which ensures that each treatment plan is effective long-term.
Additionally, quarterly pest control services can help improve the overall health and safety of your home. Common pests like rodents and spiders can spread harmful bacteria and disease, which can put your family’s health at risk. Regular pest control treatments can help minimize these risks by addressing pest activity at the source and preventing future pest activity.
Tips For Keeping Pests Out When Temperatures Drop Significantly
As the temperatures drop significantly, homeowners must remain vigilant in keeping common household pests at bay. Although pests like spiders, insects, rodents, and wildlife are year-round nuisances, they become even more problematic during colder months. With proper measures, homeowners can prevent these pesky creatures’ invasion of their homes. Here are some essential tips for keeping pests out when temperatures drop significantly.
- Seal cracks and gaps: Pests can slip into the tiniest of gaps and cracks, so it’s essential to seal up these entry points to prevent pests from entering your home. Check your home’s foundation, windows, and doors for any openings, and use weatherstripping or caulking to fill them up.
- Store food properly: Your pantry and kitchen are some of the most attractive places for pests like rodents and insects. Proper food storage (placing food in airtight containers) makes it more difficult for these pests to access it.
- Keep your home clean: Pests such as spiders and insects thrive in dirty and cluttered environments. Keep your home clean by regularly vacuuming, wiping counters, and washing dishes. Don’t forget to take out the trash regularly and store it outside in a sealed bin.
- Properly maintain your yard: Overgrown bushes, piles of leaves, and stagnant water in the yard are attractive breeding grounds for insects and rodents. Be sure to rake leaves regularly, cut back bushes, and remove standing water to eliminate these attractive areas.
- Call OMNIS Pest Control: If you’ve tried these methods and still can’t keep pests out of your home, it’s time to call in professional pest control services. They can effectively rid your home of pesky invaders and help prevent further infestations.
By implementing these tips, you can protect your home from pests’ invasion when temperatures drop significantly. Remember, prevention is key, and keeping a clean and sealed environment is the first line of defense. Happy safe pest control!
