Fall Pest Control in New England:
Preparing for the Cold Ahead.
As evenings cool down, pests look for warm places to overwinter. Fall is one of the most important times to take preventative action.
Common Fall Pests
- Mice and Rats – Move indoors once temperatures drop to around 55°F at night.
- Stink Bugs – Congregate on sunny siding before sneaking inside.
- Carpenter Ants – May continue activity until the first hard frost.
- Squirrels – Seek nesting spots in attics and under solar panels.
- Cockroaches & Fruit Flies – Continue thriving indoors.
Fall Pest Prevention Tips
- Seal gaps around foundation, doors, and windows before rodents can get in.
- Check garage doors for tight seals, as rodents often squeeze underneath.
