Fall Pest-Proofing Helps Keep Pests Outdoors
The Pressure Is On This Fall and Winter…Pest Pressure That Is
A common bed time rhyme “good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” has become a reality! Once a limited, isolated issue, bed bugs have now exploded into a massive problem confronting homeowners and businesses alike.
No place is immune: they are found in homes, furniture, hotels and motels, mattress stores, clothing stores, movie theaters, college dormitories, and just about everywhere else one can think of. They have been reported in every state in the union, including Hawaii.
A powerful and effective tool when it comes to treating a bed bug infestation is a bed bug steamer.
Steamers are very effective in removing these bloodsucking insects from your home or business. The intense heat will penetrate the bed bugs’ habitat and eliminates both the adult bugs and their eggs. Stopping the hatch of eggs is a very important step to shutting down the infestation cycle.
Whether it’s ants in the kitchen, cockroaches in the bathroom or mice in the basement, every home is susceptible to an infestation of common household rodents, bugs, and other pests. Unfortunately, once these pests find a way inside, they can pose significant threats to our health, food, and property. Being able to locate and properly identify these home invaders is critical when dealing with an infestation or attempting to prevent one from taking hold in the first place. If household bugs are left unchecked, over time they can start to turn your home into theirs, leading to a full-blown infestation.
Generally speaking, rooms with food, moisture or clutter are most likely to attract ants, cockroaches, mice, rats, flies, and other common household bugs. While maintaining a clean and tidy home is essential to keeping these pests and rodents at bay, there are other pest-proofing measures that go a long way in preventing an infestation from taking root – and they vary by room.

With fall upon us, the warmth of homes is attractive to both people and pests. Pests may try to find their way inside to escape the coming chill. According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), once inside, these pests can quickly become health and property concerns.
Besides being a nuisance and irksome, these pests can also pose serious risks to families and structures. Rodents spread diseases such as Salmonella, contaminate food and can damage drywall and electrical wires throughout a home. Cockroaches trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children, and some species of spiders may bite if their hiding spot is discovered.
The NPMA recommends pest-proofing for the fall season.

(September 27, 2018) – The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) today released its bi-annual Bug Barometer®, a seasonal forecast of the pest pressure and activity Americans can expect to see in their respective regions of the country based on weather patterns and long-term predictions, as well as pest biological behaviors. According to the group’s team of entomologists, erratic weather patterns and record-breaking rainfall are expected to cause an increase in pest pressure across the continental U.S. this fall and winter.
Based on this analysis, the National Pest Management Association’s Bug Barometer is forecasting a spike in major pest populations across the entire U.S. this season.
