Fall Pest Control Checklist

What moves toward — and sometimes into — the house as temperatures drop.

Overwintering Pests

Stink bugs and similar species look for a way indoors in early fall to survive winter; sealing gaps before this starts is more effective than treating after they’re already in.

Rodents Seeking Shelter

Mice and rats increase efforts to get indoors as outdoor food and warmth decrease — check for new entry points before the coldest months.

Wrap Up Warm-Season Treatments

If you’re on a mosquito or general pest plan, confirm with your provider what, if anything, continues through winter in your region.
