Understanding insect and animal behaviour is key to Truly Nolen’s continued decades of success in the pest control industry, leading the way with their environmentally conscious materials and more holistic approach to the situation at hand. With fall fast approaching, your home can quickly become the bullseye for pests such as rats, mice, spiders, ants, and cockroaches, making your home their home. Seeking shelter from the cold, these insects and rodents will actively seek out warmth, food, shelter, and moisture, to ensure their safety and survival during the winter’s icy cold. Now although there are some preventative measures that one can take to stave off these insect invaders, once they have made themselves comfortable, calling your Truly Nolen pest control professionals is about the only thing you can do.

Home Prevention Measures

It is important that one takes preventative measure to help keep these pests at bay, as they do have the potential to cause more than just a few spider webs in the corner. Rats and mice are disease-carrying vermin that have the ability to spread diseases such as Salmonella and Hantavirus.

Cockroaches are another allergy and asthma triggering insects that love making their nests near moisture, making the bathrooms and kitchen their ideal hiding place. Although the majority of house spiders are harmless, there are a small few that can pose a real danger, specifically the Black Widow spider.

If you would like to be proactive and begin to secure your home from pests, there are some simple measures you can take:

• Sealing cracks and holes around the foundation of your home, as well as utility pipes and other dime-sized holes, will help to prevent rodents from entering your home.
• Replacing old and worn weather strips on doors and windows, while storing wood piles at least 20-feet from your home will add invasion protection.
• Clear away old clutter and store boxes off the floor
• Fixe all leaky pipes and clogged drains to help prevent moisture build-up that would otherwise attract cockroaches and ants.
