Indiana fall is beautiful… until the unwanted guests start looking for a place to spend the winter. 👀

🕷️ Spiders

— Pointe Pest Control

Cooler weather = rodents looking for a cozy place to stay.

Before they choose your home, check:

☑️ Garage door gaps
☑️ Foundation cracks
☑️ Utility openings
☑️ Attic & crawlspace vents
☑️ Door & window seals

Also remove unnecessary clutter and keep food sources secured.

Find the entry point before the rodent finds it. 👀🐭🚫

September may feel like fall...

But Indiana pests haven't necessarily gotten the memo. 😂

You can still see activity from:

🦟 Mosquitoes
🐜 Ants
🕷️ Spiders
🐝 Stinging insects
🐭 Rodents

And as temperatures begin to change, some pests start looking for shelter.

Summer may be winding down. Pest season isn't.

Big ant? Don't automatically assume it's harmless.

Carpenter ants excavate wood to create their nests and are often associated with moisture or damaged wood.

Keep an eye on:

💧 Damp areas
🪵 Damaged wood
🏠 Decks
🌳 Trees
🚪 Entry points

Seeing large ants around your home?

It's worth finding out WHY they're there. 👀

Think mosquitoes only breed in ponds?

Think again. 👀

Check these common spots around your Indiana home:

1️⃣ Bird baths
2️⃣ Plant saucers
3️⃣ Buckets
4️⃣ Gutters
5️⃣ Kids' outdoor toys

It doesn't take much standing water.

Dump it. Drain it. Don't let mosquitoes make themselves at home. 🦟🚫

Not every pest should be treated the same way!

🪳 Roach?
🐜 Ant?
🕷️ Spider?
🐭 Rodent?

Knowing exactly what you're dealing with matters.

Different pests have different:

🔎 Behaviors
🏠 Hiding spots
🍽️ Food sources
🚪 Entry points
🎯 Treatment strategies

See a bug? Don't just squish it, identify it! 😉

Summer is winding down, but pest season isn't over just yet!

Before fall arrives, take a few minutes to prepare your home:

🏡 Inspect for cracks and gaps around the exterior.
🌿 Trim back landscaping touching your home.
💧 Eliminate standing water after rain.
🪵 Move firewood away from the foundation.
🗑️ Keep trash bins clean and tightly sealed.
🚪 Check door sweeps and window screens for damage.

These simple steps can help reduce pest activity before cooler temperatures encourage insects and rodents to move indoors.

A little work now can save you a lot of headaches later! 👏

Backpacks? ✔️ School supplies? ✔️ Pest prevention? It should be on the list too! 📚

As everyone settles back into a routine, take a few minutes to check around your home:

✅ Seal gaps around doors and windows.
✅ Empty standing water around the yard.
✅ Store pet food in sealed containers.
✅ Keep garages and storage areas organized.
✅ Trim shrubs away from your home's exterior.

A little prevention now can help keep your home comfortable all season long.

Wondering what's crawling around Indiana this month?

Here's what we're seeing most often in August:

🦟 Mosquitoes staying active after summer rain
🐜 Ants searching for food and moisture
🕷️ Spiders becoming more noticeable as insect populations grow
🐝 Wasps reaching peak activity
🐭 Early rodent movement as they begin scouting for fall shelter

Late summer is one of the best times to stay ahead of pests before cooler weather sends them looking for a way inside.

We've all been tempted to grab a can of bug spray. 😅

While DIY products may eliminate a few pests you can see, they often don't solve the real issue.

Professional pest control focuses on:
🔍 Finding where pests are coming from
🏡 Identifying entry points
🐜 Treating hidden nests and colonies
🛡️ Preventing future infestations

It's the difference between putting a bandage on the problem... and actually fixing it.
