The Fall Pests Wisconsin Homeowners Should Watch for This September and October

Summer may be waning, but pest activity could be increasing nearby. Wisconsin pest control will help keep your property and home defended

Long summers, full of glorious evening weather and plenty of outdoor activities, are beloved in our region, where bitter winters truly make us appreciate warmth when it arrives. In Wisconsin, we experience truly dramatic seasonal swings, unlike the southern US, where weather is warm and mild for much of the year. These seasonal changes make us modify our time outside, so what do you think happens when insects notice the changing seasons, too? Like us, insects and other pests have a keen sense of seasonal change, which aids their odds of survival due to their dependence on the natural environment for resources and shelter. In the summer months, pests work with a sense of urgency to feed, reproduce, and find new places where they can prepare for the coming cold later in the year. As summer wanes and fall starts to eke into our day-to-day, you might notice that some insect activity is starting to become less intense, while other pests are seen more often. This phenomenon often isn’t due to insect populations rapidly growing in the late summer. Instead, it means pests like stink bugs, asian lady beetles, and other pests commonly seen in the fall are starting to look for new shelters where they can weather the cold weather on the horizon. Such behavior is entirely understandable - we tend to spend more time in our homes when chilly weather arrives, but insects and animals might find that your home is their ideal habitat this winter. For obvious reasons, this can’t be tolerated. 

Pests to Look for and Wisconsin Pest Control

As we mentioned, stink bugs, asian lady beetles, ants, and other pests are often found trying to get inside homes and businesses in Autumn. These insects don’t belong in your home, and neither do the larger animals that might be attempting the same break-ins. Rodents, in particular, are another big concern during this time of year because they can cause a lot of damage and unsanitary conditions indoors. These creatures will chew through walls, wiring, insulation, and leave all kinds of waste around your home and property, leading to health risks and very expensive repairs.
