Common Winter Pests

1. Rodents: Mice and rats are among the most common winter pests. They seek warmth and food inside homes, often entering through small cracks and openings. Once inside, they can cause damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and food storage.
   
2. Cockroaches: These resilient pests can survive in a variety of environments, but they prefer warm, humid areas. Winter often drives cockroaches indoors, where they can spread disease and trigger allergies.
   
3. Spiders: While many spiders remain outdoors, some species, like the brown recluse and black widow, may seek indoor shelter during winter. Their bites can be dangerous, making it important to keep them out of your home.

Prevention Tips

Preventing winter pests requires a proactive approach. Here are some tips to help you protect your home:

• Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, and holes, especially around doors, windows, and utility pipes. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal these entry points and prevent pests from getting inside.
  
• Maintain Cleanliness: Keep your home clean and free of food debris. Store food in airtight containers and take out the trash regularly to avoid attracting pests.
  
• Reduce Moisture: Pests like cockroaches and rodents are attracted to moisture. Fix any leaks in your home, and use a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces.
