With colder weather in the area, some pests aren’t as much of a problem. However, experts are warning that colder weather predictions include increased activity for certain types of pests. Find out if you might need pest control Toms River NJ for winter pests.
Tick Activity
Ticks are usually more of an issue during summer and fall. With temperatures staying around average in fall, though, this can lead to more tick activity in early winter. This means you should stay on your toes when it comes to preventing tick bites. Continue using tick repellent products, wear long sleeves when walking in outdoor areas that might be infested with ticks, and check your skin for ticks, so you can remove them carefully and promptly.
Rodent Activity
Rodents are another winter pest as the weather gets cooler. Mice and rats don’t want to be out in the cold any more than you do. This means they might look for ways to get into your home this winter. If they manage to get inside, they can spread illnesses and cause damage to your property. Sealing up tiny gaps and openings that they come in through helps keep them out of your house. Cleaning up spills and crumbs, emptying garbage cans regularly, and keeping food in airtight containers also helps prevent rodent problems during the winter months.
