It is a common misconception that pests are only active during the warmer months. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Termites, for example, are active year-round, causing costly damage for homeowners, regardless of the season. Mice are constantly searching for food, and the most accessible place to find it could be your home. Although you may not see them, don’t be fooled! Many pests tend to lurk in walls and other areas, where they remain well out of sight. All the while, they could be multiplying and causing more damage in their increased numbers. Pests are a hazard to your home, and some pests, like cockroaches and rodents, are known carriers of bacteria and disease.
