Does Pest Season End When the Weather Gets Cold?

Cold weather changes pest activity, but it does not make pest problems disappear. In fact, some pests become more noticeable indoors as temperatures drop.

Rodents Seek Shelter

Mice and rats may move toward heated structures where food and shelter are available.

Indoor Insects Can Remain Active

Roaches and other insects can survive in protected indoor environments throughout the winter.

Prevention Still Matters

Reduce accessible food, correct moisture problems, organize storage and repair obvious exterior openings.

Watch for Changes

New droppings, gnaw marks, insect sightings or scratching sounds are worth investigating even after freezing weather begins.
