Pest Control in Brampton: Although not all bugs are active at the same time, a household pest infestation can be a problem throughout the year. The Brampton pest control specialists at Truly Nolen use a Four Seasons strategy to get rid of pests from your property since different pests are more likely to invade your home at different periods of the year. These three pests are those that could cause the most trouble in Winters.
- Bed bugs
Many Canadians travel to warmer countries for vacations because the winters there may be brutally cold and harsh. Sadly, they don’t always return by themselves. Little parasitic insects known as bed bugs eat human blood. Bed bugs may creep into your luggage and travel home with you if you stay at a holiday area that is infected with them. Once there, they emerge from your luggage, seek cover, and begin feeding on you, frequently while you sleep. Bed bugs reproduce quickly, so it won’t be long before you’re dealing with a serious infestation.
Contrary to common opinion, bed bugs are not particularly drawn to filthy environments, so don’t assume that just because you stay in a pricey hotel that you are safe. Bed insect issues have been reported in five-star hotels. Examine the areas where bed bugs like to conceal themselves whenever you check into a room, such as dresser drawers and the space between the mattress and box spring. Keep your luggage off the ground, and after you get home, check it.
Although bed bugs cannot transmit diseases, their bites do result in uncomfortable lesions. Saliva from bed bugs can cause serious allergic reactions in some people.
- Mice
Mice are little, hairy critters that some people find adorable. Don’t, however, believe that just because they are small, they are harmless. Due to their constant need to chew on objects, rats and mice are among the most destructive pests in homes. They require continual filing down since their front teeth never stop developing. Additionally, mice can transmit diseases that are harmful to people, typically through their waste.
Since mice cannot hibernate in the winter, they must locate a warm area to stay, ideally close to a lot of food. Because mice can compress their bodies to fit through small openings, your home probably meets the criteria perfectly. Mice can enter your home through an aperture no larger than the width of a dime.
- cockroaches
Cockroaches, like mice, can transmit diseases by contaminating food and surfaces used for food preparation with their faeces. Like mice, cockroaches can enter your home through small cracks and fissures, but unlike mice, cockroaches are invertebrates, which allow them to fit through even smaller openings.
Cockroaches can sometimes be transported into your home on items you bring in, like used furniture or clothing, similar to how bed bugs can. Always check something thoroughly for any form of insects before buying it used.
Adaptable and hardy insects, cockroaches are resilient. They have existed since their creation, some 350 million years ago. Even with how harsh Canadian winters may be, it is unlikely that they would be deterred by the weather. By keeping your kitchen tidy and free of crumbs, storing food in durable containers, and fixing any leaks, you may make your home less inviting to them. You deprive them of two of their most fundamental requirements in this way: food and water. However, cockroach infestations can be challenging to deal with on your own and may necessitate the assistance of Brampton pest control specialists.
