November Pest Outlook for Bryan and College Station
The extended warmer weather – highs above 60-degree Fahrenheit means that hardy summer pests are still active. That also means that there is still time to be proactive in dealing with pest control issues for this winter and into next year. That is especially true of commercial, residential, and multi-family units.
The Long Cold
Winter is a perfect span of time to deal with a narrow window of pests. Ants are a good example of what we mean. Ants rely on their cache of food to last them through the colder season and until foraging is again active. What that means is that with the right bait you can significantly control ant populations in your area. If you are the DIY type of person, just know that just because the label says ANTS it may not be what you need. There are other factors that go into pesticide usage that matter, such as safety.
Winter is perhaps the best time to deal with some insects because, like ants, they must rely on stored food. As good as that is, Fall is the best time to really be proactive in controlling foraging insects and pests.
Your Indoors is Ideal for Most Pests
We talk about this often, but your home, business or apartment building is a very bright beacon for pests that are looking for a place to overwinter. That may include insects such as stink bugs or fleas or it might include rodents such as mice, squirrels, and rats. It can also include mammals – those that do not migrate, such as some colonies of bats.
