When the Weather Cools, the Pests Move In
As autumn paints Utah’s mountains in gold and red, there’s something else happening behind the scenes — pests are on the move. 🐜🍂
When temperatures drop, bugs and rodents start searching for warmth and shelter. Unfortunately, that often means your home becomes their winter getaway. From spiders to mice, these uninvited guests can cause damage, spread germs, and make your cozy fall season a little less comfortable.
At Elevate Pest Control, we help Utah homeowners stop infestations before they start, keeping your home pest-free all season long.
🕷️ Meet Utah’s Top Fall Invaders
Fall is prime time for pests to sneak indoors. Here are a few of the biggest culprits:
🕸️ Spiders
While most spiders are harmless, some like the hobo spider and black widow can pose risks. They often move into garages, basements, and dark corners where they can spin webs undisturbed.
🪲 Boxelder Bugs
These little red-and-black insects gather in large groups on sunny walls and windows. Once they find a crack, they can sneak inside by the dozens.
🐀 Mice and Other Rodents
Rodents are one of the most common fall pests in Utah. They chew through wires, contaminate food, and reproduce rapidly — often before you even know they’re there.
🪰 Wasps and Yellowjackets
As the season ends, wasps become more aggressive while searching for food and shelter. You may find them hovering near eaves, attics, or outdoor trash bins.
🧹 5 Fall Pest Prevention Tips
You don’t need to wait until you see pests to act. These simple steps can help you stay protected:
- Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and siding.
- Repair screens and add weather stripping to keep bugs and rodents out.
- Store firewood away from the foundation of your home.
- Keep food and pet dishes sealed to prevent attracting rodents.
- Schedule a fall pest inspection with Elevate Pest Control to identify risk areas early.
