You’re not imagining it…

You may start noticing more spiders and webs around your home as fall arrives. 👀

Changing temperatures can influence where spiders are found, while homes can provide sheltered areas away from the changing weather.

And if there are plenty of insects around?

That can create an even better reason for spiders to stick around. 🕸️

This Halloween, keep the spider webs on the decorations... not throughout your house. 🎃

Before the Halloween decorations take over, give your home a quick pest check. 👀

🔎 Check around doors & windows
🕳️ Look for cracks and gaps
🍂 Clear leaves away from the foundation
🕷️ Check corners for webs
🐭 Look for droppings or signs of rodents
🏚️ Inspect garages, basements & attics

A few minutes of checking now can help catch potential pest problems before they become a much bigger scare. 👻

Fall is here, and mice are checking a few things off their to-do list. 🐭🍂

Their priorities?

🏠 Find a warm place to hide
🍽️ Find an easy food source
🧱 Find a cozy shelter
🚪 Find a way inside

And unfortunately, your home can check all the boxes. 👀

You bought the candy for trick-or-treaters…

But some pests might have other plans. 😂

🐜 Ants: Sweet treats? Absolutely.
🪳 Cockroaches: Not exactly picky.
🐭 Mice: They'll investigate just about anything edible.
🕷️ Spiders: They’d rather go after the bugs attracted to your home.

Keep your candy sealed and clean up those sugary crumbs.

The candy is for the kids... not the pests! 🎃

Seeing a bunch of flies gathering around your windows or walls this fall? 👀🪰

They could be cluster flies.... and their name says it all. 😂

As temperatures drop, these pests look for protected places to shelter, and homes can become an inviting spot. You may notice them gathering around windows, walls, attics, or other warm areas.

🍂 Seal potential entry points and keep an eye out for activity before they become a bigger nuisance.

🎃 They might be looking for a place to spend the winter, but your home doesn’t have to be their Halloween hideout!

Pointe Pest Control can help keep unwanted pests outside where they belong. 👻🏠

🕷️ Spiders can enter homes through surprisingly small openings.
🍂 Fall can make spider activity more noticeable.
