π FALL PEST CONTROL GUIDE
Keep Your Home Comfortable. Keep the Bugs under control.
Fall is here in Southern California! π
While we don't experience the dramatic seasonal changes seen in other parts of the country, cooler temperatures, changing moisture levels, irrigation, and rainfall can all affect pest activity around your home.
As outdoor conditions change, pests may start looking for food, water, warmth, and shelterβand your home can look pretty inviting.
π What Should You Watch For This Fall?
You may notice increased activity from:
π Ants β Look for trails around doors, windows, kitchens, patios, and foundations.
π·οΈ Spiders β Exterior lights, garages, eaves, sheds, and landscaping can become hotspots.
πͺ³ Cockroaches β Check garages, utility areas, patios, kitchens, plumbing areas, and cracks around your home.
π Rats & Mice β Watch for droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds, nesting material, and possible entry points.
πͺ° Other pests β Earwigs, fleas, yellowjackets, mosquitoes, crickets, and other landscape pests can also become noticeable depending on local conditions.
π‘ 5 FALL PEST-PREVENTION TIPS
1. Seal entry points
Check doors, windows, garage doors, vents, pipes, and gaps around your home's exterior.
2. Reduce standing water
Check gutters, pots, drains, and irrigation areas where water can collect.
3. Clean up fallen fruit
Fruit and organic debris can attract unwanted pests.
4. Watch your landscaping
Adjust irrigation as weather changes and avoid creating unnecessary moisture around your home.
5. Don't wait for a small problem to become a big one
Repeated pest activity, trails, droppings, nests, or recurring sightings are worth investigating.
