Mice, Spiders and Stink Bugs: Springfield’s Fall Pest Invaders Explained

Fall weather could be making your pest problems worse. Springfield IL pest control is your best ally

Are you ready to embrace fall and the upcoming holiday season? This is a cherished time of year in the Midwest, where cold temperatures force us to spend more time indoors and on making our homes cozy and festive. Cold weather and colder nights are a great time to enjoy time with friends and family in your cozy abode, so it might come as a surprise to find pests inside your home during this time of year. They’re most often found during the summer, so why now? This is a great question, and one that has a simple answer. Pest activity certainly does peak during the summer, when pest populations boom, and there are plenty of resources for them to survive. However, cooler weather makes pests search urgently for shelter. In Illinois, our frigid temperatures make it impossible for many pests to survive, and they will try to find places to evade these cold temperatures if possible. They can find shelter in underground burrows, in logs, woodpiles, and leafpiles, but these may be insufficient. So, when pests turn their attention to your home, it quickly becomes obvious that your residence is the best place to survive the winter. For obvious reasons, this can be distressing for a homeowner. Asian lady beetles, stink bugs, cockroaches, and even rodents are more commonly found inside during the shoulder season between summer and winter due to this pattern, which could spell trouble for your indoor lifestyle this year. 

Any pest found inside is incompatible with your indoor comfort, and this is especially true for rodents, which are notorious for causing extensive damage to the homes they invade. Rodents are quite adept at finding ways into homes, whether by sneaking through cracks or by chewing entryways for themselves, and once they are established inside, they are difficult to get rid of. These creatures will tear through insulation, chew through electrical wiring, and leave all kinds of animal waste throughout your home’s walls, making it essential to keep them away. Fortunately, our team at Mosquito Squad Plus can help with this problem.
