Holiday Decorations, Firewood and Storage Bins: Unexpected Pest Risks in West Orange Homes

Pests love summer weather, but cold weather could force them into your home for shelter this fall. West Orange pest control helps fight back

Are you bummed about summer being over? It’s not an uncommon feeling in our region. The outdoor living season is perhaps the best time of year in the Northeast, providing us with ample opportunities to head into the open air and savor the great weather. All kinds of activities, including hosting gatherings, relaxing with the family, or simply taking a breath of fresh air on your own, are great things to enjoy in your yard until the pests come into play. For all its merits, the outdoor living season in our region can be easily interrupted by the various pests that inhabit this region, including ticks, mosquitoes, and many other disruptive pests. Bug bites are common when you spend time outside, and some bites can result in serious diseases, as is the case with tick bites. However, as summer comes to a close and fall weather starts to manifest, pest activity starts to diminish and allows you to spend more time outside without worrying as much. There is a significant caveat to this decline in pest activity. 

When summer heat starts to turn cool, pests quickly take notice, and they won’t spare a moment before they begin looking for shelters that will help defend them from the coming winter temperatures. In the Northeast, we experienced some dramatic temperature and seasonal swings, so pests are highly attuned to these changes to improve their chances of survival. So, where do they go to look for new shelters? In addition to the areas in your yard that have dense leaf litter, pests will also seek out areas like wood piles before they look very closely at your home’s defenses before invading. Often, you can find stink bugs and other common pests in holiday decorations, storage bins, and other areas where they can easily hide, providing them with perfect shelters to survive the winter. While your home is an ideal place to overwinter, we like to think that human homes are incompatible with insect or rodent roommates. Fortunately, our team at Mosquito Squad Plus has just the solutions you need to fight back against pests and reduce the likelihood that they invade your home this winter.
