As summer comes to an end, pumpkin spice and football fans aren’t the only things ushering in the fall. Unfortunately, pests are also preparing for the cooler months ahead, and your home could be at the top of their list for a warm, inviting shelter. At PestForce, we know that your pest control needs change with the seasons, and our quarterly pest control subscription plans are designed to keep your home protected year-round. Here’s what you can expect with some of the most common pests as we head into fall and how PestForce can help keep them at bay.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a notorious pest that can quickly turn your home into a nightmare. These tiny, blood-sucking insects are excellent hitchhikers and often make their way into homes on everything from second-hand furniture to the bottom of your shoes. In the fall, bed bugs can become more active as the temperatures drop, and they look for warm places to live, like your bedroom!

PestForce Solution: Our professional pest control technicians are trained to spot bed bugs even in the earliest stages of an infestation. With our quarterly inspections, we can catch these pests before they spread with strong and effective treatment options that eliminate bed bugs from your home for good.

Termites

Termites are commonly considered a spring and summer problem, but they can be active year-round, especially in warmer places like Georgia. During the fall when the weather hasn’t quite turned cold yet, termites can still cause damage to your home’s foundation, wood fences and decks, and even wooden furniture. Unfortunately, termite damage might not be obvious to the untrained eye until it becomes a serious problem, which is why regular inspections are so important.

PestForce Solution: Our termite inspections are a key part of our residential pest control services. With regular home inspections, we can spot early signs of termite activity and treat these areas to protect your home from costly damage.

Rodents

As the weather gets cooler, rodents like mice and rats start looking for shelter indoors to escape the elements. These pests are not just a nuisance; they can end up causing major damage to your home by chewing through things like wiring and insulation. Even worse, they can spread diseases like salmonella, which can lead to significant health risks to you and your family.

PestForce Solution: Our quarterly pest control plan includes thorough inspections of your home to identify potential entry points and signs of rodent activity. We use humane and effective methods to eliminate rodents and prevent future infestations.

Ants, Spiders, Roaches, and More

Fall is the time when many pests, including ants, spiders, and roaches, seek out warmer environments inside the home. Ants can become particularly frustrating as they look for food to stockpile for winter, while spiders may look for dark corners to build their webs. In Georgia, roaches and Palmetto bugs can be especially frustrating because of the humid climate that makes the perfect breeding ground for these gross yet resilient pests.

PestForce Solution: With our quarterly pest control subscription, our team will visit your home regularly to keep these common pests under control. We use safe and effective treatments that target specific pests common to your area.
