Florida winters may bring relief from the scorching heat, but they also bring a new set of challenges in the form of pests.
Chinch bugs, mole crickets, armyworms, sod webworms, rats/rodents/mice, roaches, fleas, ants, moths, silverfish and other pantry pests are common nuisances that can wreak havoc on your lawn and home during the colder winter season.
Procuring the services of professional pest control and lawn maintenance experts like Regal Termite & Pest Control is recommended. Having a trained eye spot problem areas before they become damaged areas is priceless!
Normally, we all think about what pests are trying to get inside our home when it is colder outside, but don’t ignore what is going on outside your home. Threats to the health of your lawn are still a concern. Chinch bugs are known for their ability to destroy lawns by sucking out the sap from grass blades. Mole crickets tunnel through soil and feed on roots and stems of plants. Armyworms can quickly devour grass and leave behind unsightly brown patches. Sod webworms create small burrows in turfgrass and feed on the leaves. Spotting these pesky pests and eradicating them before they cause damage to your prized lawn is an effective way of managing potential problems. Rectifying the problems that arise from an infestation can be expensive. Routine seasonal lawn maintenance is the key; Regal Termite & Pest Control is the answer.
When considering pests who want inside your home as the temperatures drop, rats/rodents/mice can cause damage to property and pose health risks by spreading disease and leaving a trail of feces. Roaches are not only unsightly but can also contaminate food surfaces with bacteria. Fleas can infest pets causing discomfort for both animals and humans alike. Ants are notorious for invading homes in search of food sources. Moths are attracted to stored food products such as grains and cereals while silverfish prefer dark and damp areas like bathrooms or basements where they feed on paper products or clothing fibers. Other pantry pests like weevils or beetles can contaminate dry goods such as flour or rice. If left to make themselves comfortable, pests who have made their way inside your home will nest, feed, and breed. Keeping a clean environment by regularly vacuuming carpets, sealing cracks or openings where rodents may enter, storing food properly in sealed containers, and maintaining good hygiene practices will go a long way in preventing infestations. Regal’s centralized tubes-in-the-wall proactively control any congregation of pests and make them anything but comfortable.
Protecting your lawn and home from these winter pests is crucial to maintain a healthy living environment. Regular inspection of your lawn for signs of damage is essential so that appropriate measures can be taken promptly.
