What happens to pests in the winter?
While every pest is different, there essentially are three options: some will die off, some will be inactive during the winter, and some will invade your home looking for warmth & shelter.
Spiders: Some will undergo a process called cold-hardening, while others will go about happily living in the warmth of your home.
Ants: Some will prepare for winter, sealing off their colonies deep beneath the earth in warm soil, under rocks, or under the bark of trees. Others will be forced to look for shelter inside your home.
Wasps: Many will die off in the winter. The queens, however, will find shelter either in a discreet place inside homes, or by digging into the soil. They then will come back out once the weather warms up and will begin building their nests again.
Rodents: Mice, Rats, Voles, and Gophers can be active year-round in Utah. In fact, in the winter is when they can be most disruptive.
Treating in the winter is needed in order to keep your home pest-free. Water-activated products are also used during the wet season.
