As soon as the weather begins to cool off and the days become shorter, you might find yourself dealing with some frustrating infestations on your property. Many types of pests look for new places to nest during the coldest months of the year, and you need to be prepared for those bugs if you want to avoid expensive problems down the road. Luckily, with a little bit of professional assistance and some planning, you can reduce your risk of an infestation that brings your life to a halt.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are incredibly resilient to cold temperatures, but they still prefer to make their way indoors when the temperatures drop. Once those insects are inside your home, they could trigger your allergies or even spread germs. In addition to scheduling preventative pest control services, you should also seal up your home as well as possible before the summer comes to an end.

Bed Bugs

As the weather cools off and you spend more time indoors, you are going to increase your risk of a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs aren’t considered to be extremely dangerous, but they can bite humans and cause painful allergic reactions. If you think that you might have a bed bug infestation, then you must immediately contact us for an appointment and spend some time sanitizing your entire home.

Ants

This is another bug that isn’t believed to be highly dangerous, but ants will quickly overrun your home if you aren’t careful. The most effective way to prevent an ant infestation is to ensure that they don’t have any access to food or water inside your home. Ants will eat a wide variety of foods, and a colony can survive on a handful of crumbs or any food debris that you leave on your counters or floors.

Termites

Many homeowners don’t realize that termites tend to remain active throughout the year, and they can survive the cold Colorado winters by burrowing into the ground or making their way indoors. After they have gotten into your home, they will quickly begin to damage almost any type of natural material that they can find. Well before the weather cools off, you should remove debris from the exterior of your home and check the inside of the house for standing moisture that might attract pests.

Spiders

Whenever other bugs are found in your home, spiders probably won’t be far behind. Those pests tend to feed on other bugs, and they will follow them into your house if you aren’t careful. Keeping your home completely pest-free is the best way to ensure that you don’t find any spiders inside your house this fall.

An infestation of any kind can make everyday activities extremely unpleasant, and that is why you should do everything in your power to keep bugs out of your home.
