Halloween is just around the corner, bringing with it a host of spooky fun—costumes, decorations, and plenty of treats. But while you’re preparing for a night of frights, don’t forget about the real terrors lurking in the shadows: pests! Rodents, spiders, and insects often seek shelter in homes as the weather cools down, making Halloween the perfect time for them to sneak inside.
At Central Pest Control, we specialise in keeping your home safe from all kinds of pests, ensuring that your Halloween remains a time for fun and not an infestation nightmare.
Spooky Season, Real Pest Problems
Halloween might be all about pretending to be scared, but a pest invasion is a real fright. The changing weather and abundance of food around Halloween create the perfect environment for pests to invade homes and businesses. Common Halloween pests include:
- Rats and Mice: These creatures are always on the lookout for warmth and food, and your home can be an ideal spot for them to settle in.
- Spiders: While plastic spiders might be a fun part of your décor, real spiders can cause unwanted scares, especially if they start building webs inside your home.
- Ants and Cockroaches: Leftover Halloween sweets can attract ants and roaches, who love sugary treats just as much as the trick-or-treaters.
Tips for a Pest-Free Halloween
Before you hang the decorations and carve your pumpkins, consider these helpful tips to keep pests away this Halloween:
- Seal Cracks and Gaps: Inspect your home for any cracks or holes that pests could use to enter. Pay special attention to windows, doors, and the foundation. Use caulking or weatherstripping to seal any openings.
- Properly Store Food: Halloween snacks can attract ants, rodents, and other pests. Store food in airtight containers and make sure to clean up crumbs and spills promptly.
- Keep Your Outdoor Area Tidy: Piles of leaves, wood, and yard debris are perfect hiding spots for pests like mice and insects. Clean up your yard to make it less appealing for them.
- Check Decorations: Decorations that have been stored in garages or attics could be harbouring pests like spiders or rodents. Inspect and clean decorations before putting them up.
- Turn Off Outdoor Lights: Insects are drawn to light, so consider turning off or dimming outdoor lights to keep bugs from gathering around your home.
