Ah, the holiday season is upon us, and it's truly a merry time of year!
The air is filled with holiday cheer, and families gather together to create lasting memories.
One beloved tradition for many is buying a Christmas tree to adorn their homes. It is important to remember that you may be unknowingly transporting stowaways and turning them loose inside your home when you bring a tree home to decorate.
As you embark on your quest for the perfect tree, it’s important to consider a few factors. While we focus on the joyous aspects of bringing nature indoors, it’s also essential to be mindful of potential unwanted guests such as bugs, ticks, ants, roaches, spiders and even rodents. These critters can become quite active and breed when they find their way into your home during the winter months. With holiday festivities comes plenty of food; a rodent’s favorite amenity! Once these guys get inside your home, they aren’t leaving without some severe corrective action.
To ensure a pest-free holiday season, it’s always wise to ask your vendor if their trees have been inspected for any unwelcome visitors. Taking this simple step can help prevent any unexpected surprises once you’ve brought your tree home. Make sure you thoroughly inspect your new tree before you bring it inside and set it up for the holidays. We have seen some ludicrous situations arise during the Christmas season. The story that tops the list: one of our loyal customers brought home a tree and suffered a full-blown tick infestation that was so thick it looked like the carpet and walls were alive! They called us in for a professional game plan on undoing what seemed to be hopeless. We were able to get the situation under wraps and save them from thousands of unexpected and unwanted Christmas guests.
Remember, we want our homes to be filled with warmth and love during this special time of year. By being proactive in checking for potential pests before purchasing your Christmas tree, you can help create an environment that truly embodies the spirit of the season. A pest’s main goal in the winter months is to find their way inside where it’s warm, there is food, there is shelter, and they can breed once they set up shop. Your home is a spring break getaway to pests during the winter. If you see signs of any type of pests after you have put up your tree, contact us right away for a swift response, so we can catch any problems early and you have a safe and happy holiday season with your friends and family.
