There’s a myth out there that the winter kills bugs. Jokes on us because they actually just hang out behind the walls where there is warm insulation! If you hold off service in the winter time, you allow your pest barrier to lapse and the home is unprotected. In Oklahoma, it can be freezing cold one week and then warm again the following week. This influx in temperature gets bugs active. If you have allowed your pest barrier to lapse, then it is back to square one and it will take time to get them under control again. So we advise our customers that if they don’t want to see bugs again in the spring, they need to keep their service throughout the winter time.
