Additional frequently asked questions about fall pests
Insects entering your home during the fall are referred to as over-wintering pests. Enjoying the warm comfort of your house as they hide inside walls and ceilings means they stay active because they don’t need to hibernate. They can quickly become annoying within your home throughout the winter months. Unfortunately, once over-wintering pests get inside, they are nearly impossible to eliminate.
Fall (September—October) is the best time to stop insects from entering your home for the winter. The small gaps in your siding and foundation are especially susceptible to fall insects and pests. Our professional solution provides a protective barrier that eliminates bugs once they come in contact with the product.
Removing fall pests yourself can be time-consuming and ineffective without professional-grade products. While there are do-it-yourself products on the market, a professional-grade product and application are recommended for maximum protection. Not only are do-it-yourself products not as effective as our professional-grade products, but they can also be harmful to your family and pests if mixed and/or applied incorrectly. Professional application is key for safe and effective treatment!
Generally, no. Brown marmorated stink bugs are not harmful to humans and animals, although they do release a foul odor when agitated or smashed. Some people may be sensitive to allergens released by this stink bug. Asian lady beetles are a nuisance pest and are not poisonous to humans or pets. They are not aggressive towards humans; however, they do bite on occasion. Some people will have pain and redness associated with an Asian lady beetle bite. Although rare, individuals have reported allergic reactions to them as well. Boxelder bugs are not poisonous to humans or animals, but are a nuisance pest. They can stain curtains, upholstery, and the siding of homes when found in large numbers. For this reason, we recommend vacuuming up the pests, as when crushed, they cause staining.
One of our highly trained pest experts will apply an EPA-approved, professional-grade product to the exterior of your home. Once dry (about 45 minutes), the product is safe. It will not stain or damage your siding, paint, or foliage. Control generally lasts up to 60 days and comes with a 30-day warranty.
