Many people think of summer and spring as the main times of the year when pests cause problems in Visalia. Unfortunately, there are some pests that continue to cause problems in Visalia during the fall. With these year-round pests, you need to take consistent action to protect against them. The most common pests in Visalia during the fall include roaches, rodents, and spiders.
Roaches
Roaches are, unfortunately, one type of pest that will never give you a break. Once roaches infest your home, they have everything they need to thrive. Most homes in Visalia provide everything that roaches need including shelter and easy access to food and water. A leaky pipe under a sink can create an environment where roaches like to live – dark and damp – and provide them with the water they need to survive. Small spills, food scraps left on plates, an overflowing trashcan, and improperly stored food in the pantry can all provide roaches with plenty of food. Roaches will remain active throughout the fall, winter, spring, and summer as long as they have access to the basics of survival.
Rodents
Like roaches, rodents can typically find everything they need to survive in homes throughout Visalia. Rodents can use items they find in your house to create materials for their nests. These pests will also look for scrap food. Rodents also have the ability to chew through packaging and can get into your food supply. Rodents will remain active during the fall as long as they continue to have access to food, water, and shelter.
Spiders
Many homeowners in Visalia notice more spiders during the fall months. This is because some types of spiders are out on the hunt for a mate during the fall. This makes them bolder in their movements and more likely to be out in the open. The fact that you see spiders more in the fall does not necessarily mean that there are more in your home – just that they are easier to spot.
You do not want to have to deal with any of these pests in your Visalia home during the fall. Roaches and rodents can both spread disease and contaminate your food supply. Most spiders are not dangerous to humans but that does not make them any less terrifying for people are hate these eight-legged pests.
