What to Expect During a Fall Service

kphelps • Dec 01, 2021

With fall well underway, it’s definitely time for you to have your fall service done if you haven’t already. If this is your first fall with Proterra Pest Control, you might be wondering what you should expect from a fall service. While there is some general overlap with services that you would receive during other seasons, there are some things that are a little different.


Identifying Access Areas

If you want to keep pests outside of your home, one of the most important things you need to do is to prevent them from getting inside in the first place. That means identifying areas that they might be using to access your home. Remember, a lot of pests need food, water, shelter, and warmth from winter weather just like you do and, like you, they often find your home to be an attractive source for all of those things. Our pest control specialists are trained to find and recognize access areas that could act as a path into your home.


Establishing Barriers and Traps

Once those access areas have been identified, steps must be taken to prevent them from being used. This usually comes in the form of barriers and traps. Barriers help keep out pests that would otherwise take shelter in your home during the winter. Of course, animals can be incredibly resourceful, which is why barriers alone are not the only prevention and control method we use. We’ll place pheromone traps throughout your home that are designed to eliminate pests that may be attracted to and damage your food and fabric.


Treating Your Property

Doing pest control right is the only way to truly have a successful pest control model. That’s why we treat your entire property during our services. We understand that in order to keep pests under control and out of your home, it’s not enough to just treat the inside of your home. The exterior of your home and the rest of your property should be treated as well. Rest assured that our service will cover your entire property so you get the best results.

It always helps to know what to expect from your pest control company, especially when it comes to things that may be different from service to service. That can give you the reassurance you need that we are taking the necessary steps to keep your family, home, and property protected all year long. Remember, you can always contact us if you have any questions or concerns about the services we provide.
