Prepare Your Home for Winter
Preparing your home for Winter pests is a seasonal service that is completed in September, October and November. Products used are active for up to 12 weeks from service date.
Outside we treat around the structure’s foundation, all doors, windows, roof eaves, soffits, decks, patios and porches.
Treatment is effective for controlling Stink Bugs, Boxelder Bugs, Asian Lady Beetles and other over-wintering invaders from coming into your home in the Fall and staying there until it is consistently warm again in the Spring.
Contact us any time to be added to our list for the upcoming season. Once added, you will receive an email at beginning of September to confirm you would like to schedule OWI Service.
You will be contacted 1-2 days prior to service. All doors and windows to be closed during treatment. Also, all pets and people to be indoors or away from structure during treatment.
All products used are both pet and child safe.
Getting Rid of Stink Bugs
To ensure your home remains comfortable and pest-free throughout the colder months, we recommend combining our Over-wintering Invader Treatment with a professional chimney sweep service.
Stink bugs frequently seek refuge in chimneys and other openings as temperatures drop. According to building codes, a minimum quarter-inch opening is required at the top of your chimney, which can still allow these pests to enter and attempt to hibernate.
Without proper maintenance, many of these stink bugs may find their way into your home during Winter and Spring. By keeping your chimney clean and well-sealed, you can significantly reduce the risk of stink bugs invading your living space.
For optimal results, we suggest scheduling a chimney sweep after November 21st with our trusted and highly rated affiliate, Chimney Monkey, following your over-wintering invader treatment.
This combined approach will help ensure a pest-free and comfortable home throughout the season.
