As the cool breeze of fall sweeps through Georgia, it’s a time for changing leaves, crisp air, and unfortunately, the arrival of several common household pests. While you might be enjoying the relief from the summer heat, pests like spiders, cockroaches, stink bugs, box elder bugs, and rodents are actively seeking warmth and shelter in your home.
At ProCare Pest Services, we understand the importance of keeping your home pest-free during the fall season. Our top-notch, family-owned business provides personalized pest control solutions for families all over Metro Atlanta, with convenient offices in Marietta and Lawrenceville. Let’s take a closer look at the pests that are most likely to make their way into your home during the fall and how we can help.
1. Spiders
Fall is prime spider season as many species are looking for a safe place to overwinter. Common house spiders tend to make their way indoors in search of warmth and food. While spiders play an important role in controlling other pests, no one wants webs in every corner of their home. ProCare Pest Services targets areas where spiders are likely to hide, such as basements, attics, and storage areas, to ensure they don’t take over your home this fall.
2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are more than just an unsightly nuisance—they can also carry some diseases and trigger allergies. As the temperature drops, cockroaches will be on the hunt for warmth and food, making your home a prime target. German and American cockroaches are especially common in Georgia, and they’re experts at hiding in kitchens, bathrooms, and dark corners of your house. ProCare’s thorough inspection and treatment plan will get rid of cockroaches and prevent them from returning, keeping your home safe and clean.
3. Stink Bugs
Stink bugs are known for their distinctive odor, which they release when disturbed or squished. These shield-shaped pests become more active in the fall as they try to move indoors to escape the cooler weather. While stink bugs aren’t harmful, they can be a significant nuisance if they invade in large numbers. Our pest control experts at ProCare know exactly how to keep these bugs from infiltrating your home and can provide long-term prevention strategies to stop future infestations.
4. Box Elder Bugs
Box elder bugs are another common fall pest in Georgia. These black and red bugs are often seen congregating in large numbers on sunny sides of buildings or near windows. While they don’t pose a direct threat, their large gatherings can be overwhelming, and they can stain surfaces with their droppings. ProCare Pest Services can help keep these bugs out of your home, preventing the nuisance before it starts.
5. Rodents
As the temperatures drop, rodents like mice and rats begin seeking warmth, food, and shelter—often finding their way into homes. Rodents can cause significant damage by chewing through wires, insulation, and even wood. They also carry diseases and can contaminate food sources. At ProCare Pest Services, we specialize in rodent control, offering both removal and preventative measures to keep these unwelcome visitors out of your home.
