As temperatures drop and days grow shorter, pests often seek refuge in homes and businesses, especially in Santa Clarita’s mild yet changing fall climate. At Pest Arrest, we understand how disruptive these invaders can be, and we’re here to help. Here’s a closer look at the most common fall pests in the area and tips to keep them at bay.
Rodents (Mice and Rats)
Rodents are a common fall pest, seeking warmth, food, and shelter. They often enter through small gaps or cracks in walls, basements, and storage areas. Once inside, they can chew on wires, damage insulation, and contaminate surfaces with droppings, posing health risks. Pest Arrest specializes in rodent prevention and removal, ensuring your property stays protected.
Spiders
Fall marks mating season for many spiders, leading to an increase in sightings around homes and businesses. While most spiders in Santa Clarita are harmless, venomous species like the black widow or brown recluse are worth monitoring. Spiders typically settle in attics, basements, and undisturbed areas. Regular cleaning and professional pest control can keep these eight-legged common fall pests out.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid spaces and often seek shelter indoors during cooler months. They’re not just an annoyance—they spread bacteria and allergens that can impact health. Pest Arrest’s proactive solutions, including sealing entry points and targeted treatments, effectively address cockroach infestations.
Ants
As food sources diminish outdoors, ants migrate inside, particularly into kitchens and pantries. They’re attracted to crumbs, spills, and improperly stored food. Our team offers comprehensive ant control services, breaking the cycle of infestations and restoring your space.
Stink Bugs and Cluster Flies
These pests often congregate on sunny walls before finding their way inside. Stink bugs release a foul odor when disturbed, while cluster flies can become a nuisance in large numbers. Pest Arrest’s exclusion techniques prevent these invaders from making your home their winter haven.
