Pest control may seem less critical during the winter months due to competing priorities, but that doesn’t make it any less important. You would be wrong in thinking this way; pests are less likely to be active during this period. Although they may appear as a minor inconvenience, pests can quickly turn into major problems if they become an issue for customers
One of the many benefits of living in Minnesota is that while we are in the midst of a long winter, we get a break from insects. Insects are less active in winter, but it is important to remember that many species spend the winter reloading and preparing to do what insects do during the warmer months of the year. Unlike insects, Ecotech is active all year round, and we work to ensure that your home is protected from whatever insect species may have designs on moving in with you this spring.
Winter often provides a respite from the sweltering summer heat, but not every irritation disappears with it. That includes pests. Many homeowners and business managers assume they won’t need to deal with common house bugs during winter since there won’t be mosquitoes around in December. But did you know that many types of pests remain active throughout wintertime? According to Pest World, cockroaches can survive below-freezing temperatures and multiple kinds of rodents will invade over 20 million residences annually
Spiders can be creepy to see within the household, but for the most part, spiders are beneficial to the ecosystem. In fact, they help control the population of other unwanted pests. During these cooler months, you will likely see the products of spiders more often – their webs. These can appear large and are certainly a nuisance to walk into. Most spider bites
Perhaps you’ve noticed a few pests around your home that you would like to be rid of. You may have tried some popular branded at-home treatment with little to no success. You’ve thought about hiring a pest control service to come over and treat the home, but you don’t want to get stuck in any contracts that obligate you to a year’s worth of monthly services that you don’t need. You just want this issue dealt with for the time being. Are you stuck? Not at all! EcoTech offers non-contract pest control services frequently and would be glad to rid you of your unwanted pests.
It is common knowledge that Minnesota deals with extreme dips in the temperatures in the winter months (dropping from a summer average of 75oF to a bone-chilling average of 12oF in the peak of winter). It’s not only the humans that get cold and seek warmth during this season, but pests are also on the hunt for warmth. Unfortunately, that warmth is, more often than not, found in your homes and businesses.
