G’day folks, Glenn Mott from Mount Lawley Pest Control here. While Perth winters might not be as harsh as other parts of Australia, they still bring their own set of pest challenges.
Here’s what you need to be aware of:
- Rodents: With the weather getting colder, rodents will be seeking warm shelter indoors. They’ll be looking for any cracks and crevices to squeeze through, so it’s crucial to seal up any potential entry points.
- Cockroaches: Although cockroach activity generally slows down in winter, they can still be a problem, especially if you have a warm and humid environment indoors.
- Spiders: While most spiders aren’t harmful, some species may become more active indoors during the winter months.
Here’s how to keep your home pest-free this winter:
- Seal Entry Points: This is crucial! Inspect your home’s exterior and interior for any cracks and crevices around windows, doors, pipes, and vents. Seal them up with caulk or steel wool.
- Keep it Clean: A clean home is a pest-free home. Regularly clean up food crumbs and spills, and store food in airtight containers.
- Declutter: Clutter provides hiding places for pests. 1 Take some time to declutter your home and remove any unnecessary items that could be harbouring pests.
- Regular Inspections: Conduct regular inspections of your home, both inside and out, looking for any signs of pest activity.
- Professional Pest Control: For the most effective pest control, consider a professional treatment from a reputable company like Mount Lawley Pest Control.
