However, there are many steps you can take if you are aware of this risk. Contacting a professional pest-control service is an important step, but there are other important things you can do in the interim.
Holiday Season Pest Prevention
Many pests seem to suddenly appear during the holidays because people will frequently store a variety of items in dark, damp places. This may include holiday ornaments, travel items and other forgotten belongings. Retrieve these items carefully, for they could be concealing an entire colony of roaches, mice or other critters. If you are unsure of the best course of action to take, simply contact one of our friendly pest-control representatives.
Common Seasonal Pests
The types of pests that normally appear during the holiday season are the ones that lay eggs in obscure places that are hidden from view. These pests can remain undetected for long periods of time, and they will suddenly appear when there is an unusual amount of activity taking place. The attic is a common example of this, and this is one of the first places our professionals will examine for signs of infestation.
Many types of critters might be lurking in the crevices between discarded holiday boxes and other dusty belongings:
- Rats
- Roaches
- Ants
- Spiders
- Worms
- Termites
Although these are some of the most common holiday pests, there are many others. Some of these pests are capable of carrying and spreading diseases, so it is essential to maintain a healthy holiday environment for your guests by getting rid of these pests as soon as possible.
Signs of Pest Infestations
There are many different clues that could indicate a pest infestation. Small pieces of feces could mean that you have a termite or rodent infestation. Cob webs indicate that spiders have taken up residence in your home. Ants and worms are hard to detect, but our professionals can test the area to see if they are present in your home. Termites leave a lot of clues in the wood they use to build their nests. There is a lot of structural damage that can occur as a result of a pest infestation, and many of these signs are not visible to the eye. For example, rodents can chew into the wiring inside of the wall, but the damage may not become apparent until there is a failure in the electrical system.
