Halloween should be full of tricks, treats, and spooky fun not real-life creepy crawlies. While skeletons and cobwebs make great decorations, unwanted guests like bedbugs, rodents, and cockroaches can turn your haunted house into a real nightmare.
At Central Pest Control, we help homeowners across Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare, keep pests at bay all year long. Here are our top pest prevention tips to make sure the only scares you get this Halloween are make-believe.
1. Fake Webs, Real Spiders – Don’t Let Them Mix
Decorating with fake cobwebs? Spiders think they’re real!
🕷️ Tip: Keep web décor away from windows, vents, and doorways. When you take decorations down, shake them out before bringing them inside.
2. Stop Rodents Before They Move Into Your Haunted House
As the weather cools, mice and rats look for warm shelter indoors. Your attic, pantry, or basement might look like the perfect hideout.
🍬 Tip: Seal any cracks or gaps around your home – even holes as small as a coin – and store sweets in airtight containers.
3. Clean Up After the Party to Avoid Uninvited Guests
After a fun night of trick-or-treating, leftover crumbs, sweet wrappers, and sticky spots can attract ants and cockroaches.
🧹 Tip: Wipe down counters, sweep floors, and take out the bins before heading to bed.
4. Store Halloween Decorations Pest-Free
When the season ends, pests love to nest in stored decorations.
📦 Tip: Use sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes, and store them off the floor in a cool, dry area.
5. When in Doubt, Call the Pest Pros
If you’re hearing strange noises in the walls or spotting droppings, don’t wait until things get scarier.
