Overwintering Pests Control Service

• 90-day warranty.
• These occasional invaders do not reproduce inside structures.
• Most people notice these pests when the structure’s heat tricks them out of winter dormancy, and they enter the living space instead of exiting naturally outside.
• The best way to keep these pests out is to repair their entry points when they are not inside (during summer).
• If repairs are impractical, we recommend an exterior perimeter treatment in the fall (September through mid-October).
• If you are being reactive to an infestation during the winter months (November-April) remember that they are already inside. You may continue to see some until they leave in spring.
• Killing large amounts of these pests inside can cause secondary beetle infestations. These beetles feed on carcasses. Large quantities of insect carcasses can also cause allergies in occupants.
• Treatments November- April include crack and crevice treatment (wall voids, ceiling voids, attics). This is usually done with dust pesticide formulations in the areas where they are overwintering. Space treatments may be performed with Nuvan pest strips. Minor repairs may be included to block them from entering the living space. An inspection is performed to locate potential entry points outside that should be repaired once the insect has left.
• Pest-proofing cost is approximately $250 per hour, plus materials.
• They do not reproduce inside. They are most active on the south and west sides of the house, where they get warmed by the sun the most.
