As the leaves begin to fall and temperatures drop across North Carolina, pests start looking for a warm place to spend the season—and your home is a prime target. From rodents and spiders to overwintering insects, fall is the time to get ahead of pest problems before they settle in.
At Economy Exterminators, we help homeowners protect their homes with expert, eco-friendly pest control services. Use this fall pest control checklist to prepare your home for cooler weather—and keep unwanted guests out.
Your Fall Pest Control Checklist
1. Rodent Prevention
Cooler weather drives mice and rats indoors.
- Inspect and seal cracks, gaps, and vents
- Check your crawlspace door (and let us know if it needs fixing!)
- Store food in airtight containers
- Keep garages, attics, and crawlspaces clean and organized
- Schedule a professional rodent inspection
Pro Tip: Mice can squeeze through holes the size of a dime—don’t underestimate their entry points!
2. Bed Bug Awareness
Fall travel and holiday guests can increase the risk of bed bugs.
- Inspect luggage and guest bedding
- Wash linens in hot water after travel
- Ask about our thermal bed bug treatments for fast, discreet elimination
3. Clean Up Yard Debris
Leaf piles and clogged gutters create perfect hiding spots for pests.
- Rake and remove leaf debris
- Clean out gutters and downspouts
- Trim back vegetation touching your home
- Store firewood away from the foundation (stacking it too close can attract termites )
These simple steps reduce harborage areas for spiders, ants, and overwintering insects.
4. Consider TAP Insulation
