Do you have any idea how pests survive the cold temperatures during winter? Many homeowners do not know the answer to this question. This depends on the place where you live and the kind of winter pest that you are concerned about. In some places, the temperatures rarely get too cold to wipe out the pests. It’s still important to know the most effective pest control tips for every season.
This article will discuss the pests commonly found in South Carolina. In this part of the country, the winter season is mild enough to allow several types of pests to live. Winters in other areas are so cold that pests are wiped out. Having said that, there are several pests that might take a small beating, however, they end up coming right back during spring.
Importance Of Pest Control During Winter
Take for example, the ant. Many of you may have heard the story about the grasshopper who failed to store food for winter and when it came, he had to ask the ants to take him in. It’s true that ants keep enough food to last throughout winter and that means they won’t die.
They remain underground and protected from the cold winter temperatures above ground. That’s why there are still ants invading houses even when there is just a single warm day in the middle of the cold winter season. When that happens, you need the help of an exterminator.
Other pests like stink bugs, wasps, as well as lady bugs, would overwinter in your walls and attics. This will protect them from the freezing temperatures and let them live until the next spring. Zap Pest Control Inc. receives several calls every year when the weather starts to warm up since a lot of people think there is a next in their home.
The good thing is that there is no nest, however, the wasp just believed your home was a nice place for them to stay in until the temperature got a bit more pleasant. They are much like snow birds and your home became their winter retreat.
Finally, if the weather conditions turn colder, there are several pests that become winter pests since they start running inside in search of a warm place to hang out. They are typically a bit more visible like rodents, spiders, and cockroaches. They spike their presence during the fall season when the temperatures tart to fall. However, they could remain an issue throughout the cold winter months.
