Three Steps to Defeat Fall Invaders

As days shorten and temperatures cool, many insects—including cluster flies, Asian beetles, boxelder bugs, and spiders—look for warmer places to hunker down for the winter. Unfortunately, these warmer places are usually inside your home or building.

The good news? There are three simple steps you can follow to keep these fall invaders from entering your structure:

1. Ensure your home or building is sealed tight. Make sure windows and doors fit tight and replace or repair damaged screens. Seal other openings around the foundation, pipes, wires, and chimney. Keep siding, eaves, and soffits in good condition.
2. Use an insecticide to treat areas of the structure where insects commonly gather. This tactic works best if you apply insecticide barriers before pests begin entering your building.
3. Remove and discard dead pests that may have already gotten inside your attic, basement, crawlspace, or wall cavity. They can attract other types of pests and create more problems.

And don’t forget: Green Valley Pest Control offers fall bug treatment. Our program includes treatment on the outside of your home or business, roof to ground.
