Your attic is a great hiding spot for many types of pests. Keep in mind that some pests will enter attic spaces in fall or early winter to escape the cold. What kinds of pests might be in your attic? You might need professional pest control in Monmouth County for any of the following critters:
Mice and Rats
House mice and roof rats are among the rodents that might seek shelter inside your attic in winter. These rodents can fit through small cracks and gaps, making it easy for them to enter your home. Mice and rats can spread diseases, contaminate your food and chew on wires, so it’s important to have infestations handled by professionals.
Wildlife
Bats, raccoons, birds and squirrels are all good at being able to find ways inside attics. Once they’re inside, they can build a nest and settle in for the long winter months. These critters can make a mess in your attic and make a lot of noise as they move around.
Insects
Bees, wasps, silverfish and cluster flies are bugs that can enter attics for winter shelter. You might see these bugs inside your home in spring when they become more active again.
