Fall common pest – Pest Control Summerville and Charleston SC

Most Common Fall Pests

Bees, Wasps, Hornets, etc.

Stinging pests in general tend to start really buzzing about during the fall. It makes sense when you think about the fact that they are preparing for the winter just like most animals. They are hard at work collecting nutrients from a variety of sources. Getting treatments for those pests is a good idea during the fall months.

Roaches

Just like all pests, cockroaches like a nice warm area with food and water to lay their heads. And while we can understand and appreciate that, we don’t want it to be in our homes. Fall is a good time to have a pest control service near you!

Beetles and other overwintering pests

Brown marmorated stink bugs, boxelder bugs, ladybugs, etc. are all common to the autumn season as well. These pests crawl into gaps around windows, under siding, or through utility chases looking for a place to “sleep” over the winter. While harmless, you don’t exactly like to have them in your home. Unseasonably warm winter days or excessive indoor heating could trick them into thinking it’s time to wake up and emerge into inhabited areas like living rooms, bedrooms, etc. Vacuuming them up will help, but the best thing you can do is to make sure screens are free from rips and tears and to fill in any cracks you can find

Mice

Roaches in Fall

Cockroaches thrive in warm weather. As cooler weather arrives, cockroaches are forced to find shelter because their bodies can’t handle cold temperatures. In cold temperatures, these pests shelter down in sewer drains, piles of leaves, and anywhere they can find warmth and food.
Although we’d rather the roaches stay away, our homes are an ideal fall retreat. Cockroaches are the happiest hiding from cold weather in our walls, basements, and indoor spaces. Let our tech service your home with a routine pest control in Summerville and pest control in the Charleston Tri County area.

German Roaches

German cockroaches are most commonly found indoors, with a preference for the warmer and more humid areas of a structure. In homes, these cockroaches will typically be found in kitchens and bathrooms.
German cockroaches are scavengers, capable of feeding on most any food source available.
Each egg case, contains approximately 30 to 40 eggs. This egg case is then carried by the female until 1 to 2 days before hatching. Depending upon the conditions, the average time for development, from egg to adult can range from 2 to 6 months.
German cockroaches are known for their ability to reproduce quickly. Females only need to mate once for the production of young. After mating, and under normal conditions, they will produce, on average, 4 to 6 egg cases during the course of their lives.
