Pests donât really care what time of year it is. They just change the game.
Here in the Rogue Valley, every season brings something different.
đ Ants find food, water and ways into the house.
đˇď¸ Spiders show up in garages, crawlspaces, wood piles and those corners nobody has touched since 2019.
đ Yellowjackets are especially active right now. Late summer and early fall is when colonies can be at their biggest.
đ Rats and mice donât need winter to become a problem either. Chicken feed, pet food, bird seed, gardens, fruit trees and outbuildings can give them everything they need year-round.
And then there are termites. Usually you donât notice those until theyâve already been working.
Thatâs part of living in Southern Oregon. We have woods, farms, creeks, older homes, crawlspaces, sheds and plenty of places for pests to make themselves comfortable.
The trick isnât spraying whatever bug you happen to see.
Itâs figuring out what it is, where itâs coming from and why itâs there.
Thatâs what we do.
Valley Inspections & Pests serves homes and businesses throughout Josephine and Jackson Counties with local pest control built around what we actually deal with here in the Rogue Valley.
