As the seasons change in northern Michigan, so do the challenges homeowners face in keeping their homes pest-free. Late summer and early fall are critical times to act—because while we enjoy the cooler weather, pests are already preparing for winter. By scheduling a whole-house barrier application and implementing rodent prevention measures now, you can prevent unwanted infestations later.
Why a Late-Season Whole-House Barrier Application Matters
As temperatures begin to dip, certain insects start searching for shelter. Pests like flies, boxelder bugs, and Asian lady beetles are notorious for slipping inside through cracks, siding, and gaps around windows and doors. Once inside, they can be frustratingly difficult to control, often clustering in large numbers in attics, basements, and living spaces.
A professional whole-house barrier treatment creates a protective shield around your home. Applied at just the right time, this treatment:
- Blocks harboring insects before they make it indoors.
- Reduces populations around your property.
- Provides peace of mind all season long.
Timing is key—a late-season barrier application ensures your home is protected before pests seek warmth inside.
Fall Prevention: Block Rodents Before They Enter
As the days grow shorter, rodents such as mice and rats begin searching for warm, nesting spots. Unfortunately, your home or business is one of their favorite choices. Once inside, rodents can damage wiring, insulation, and food supplies—not to mention the health risks they pose.
The good news? Preventing an infestation is far easier than dealing with one after it starts. Our Fall Rodent Prevention Service includes:
- A comprehensive inspection for gaps, entry points, nests, and potential problem areas.
- After an approved estimate, we repair and seal vulnerable areas to block rodent access.
- Placement of rodenticide bait stations along with structural modifications to prevent further invasions.
