Most people consider the winter months to be a dormant time of year for pests. While this may be true for many outdoor insects and animals, many pests become more of a problem during the winter months. Mice and other rodents will often move indoors in search of food. In addition, they will burrow under the snow, causing damage to lawns when the spring arrives. Holiday Activities Our own cultural activities contribute to pest infestations in our homes during the winter months. The winter clothes we bring out of storage from attics, boxes, backs of closets, etc. may bring out clothes moths, silverfish, roaches, etc. Holiday materials bought at the store or brought out of storage may have been waiting for a year to be used. Christmas trees may have bark beetles, aphids, mites, etc. Also, other decorations you adorn the home with may have infestations. |
|
The plants, you bring in from outside to protect from harsh weather often bring hitchhikers that are not wanted. The wood for your fireplace may carry beetles, termites, ants, roaches, centipedes, scorpions, earwigs, etc. as unwanted guests.
Checking your home thoroughly is the key to maintaining a pest free environment, and Nimby Pest Management will perform a thorough pest inspection during every visit. |

Rodents
Rats
and
mice
have
adapted
to
living
in
close
association
with
humans,
where
they
damage
structures,
chew
wiring,
eat
and
urinate
on
human
and
animal
food,
and
carry
many
diseases.
While
these
rodents
are
present
around
our
homes
throughout
the
year,
they
often
become
a
problem
in
the
fall
and
winter
when
they
enter
homes
seeking
warmth.
Rats
and
mice
do
not
differentiate economic
level
or
status.
They
are
good
jumpers,
climbers,
swimmers
and
gnawers,
which
enable
them
better
access
to
your
home.
They
rely
predominantly
on
smell,
taste,
touch
and
hearing
as
opposed
to
vision.
Rodents
memorize
specific
pathways
and
use
the
same
routes
consistently.
They
are
omnivorous,
eating
nearly
any
type
of
food,
including
dead
and
dying
members
of
their
own
species.

Bats
|

Bats
Realistically
speaking
bats
are
beneficial
creatures.
They
eat
up
to
60%
of
their
own
body
weight
a
day
(a
single
bat
can
eat
up
to
3,000
insects,
including
mosquitoes,
in
one
night).
However,
even
though
they
are
a
benefit
to
our
outdoor
environment,
they
can
become
a
very
dangerous
pest
when
they
enter
our
homes
or
other
buildings.
Property
Damage
Bats
like
to
live
in
attics,
in
building
walls
or
in
the
space
between
the
roof
and
ceiling.
Their
feces
(bat
droppings)
cause
terrible
odours
and
can
be a
health
risk
to
you
and
your
family.
The
longer
a
bat
stays
in a
building,
the
greater
the
chances
of
breeding
and
infiltrating
smaller
spaces.
Proper
removal
and
cleanup
may
eventually
involve
ripping
out
drywall,
sheathing
and
flooring.
*Note:
Bat
colonies
double
in
size
every
year.
Bats
in
Ontario
tend
to
hibernate
or
go
back
to
the
same
property
every
year
unless
they
are
removed
and
excluded
properly.
It
is
essential
that
you
utilize
a
professional
(Nimby
Pest
Management)
when
trying
to
exclude
bats
from
your
home
or
other
building.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches
Cockroaches are household
pests throughout Ontario. Although
cockroaches are sometimes associated with
dirty dwellings, they are being discovered
even in the "cleanest of homes." Cockroaches
are one of the oldest of insects -- there
are fossil remains of them dating back
200,000,000 years. They have survived such a
long time because they have demonstrated
outstanding ability to adapt to a wide range
of habitats.
Cockroaches feed on a variety of foods, with
a preference for starchy and sugary
material. Cockroaches will sip milk, pop or
beer left out or left in unrinsed bottles,
nibble cheese, feed on meats, pastry, grain
products, sugar -- practically all the foods
that we eat. They will also feed freely on
book bindings, sizing, innerlinings of shoe
soles and dead insects. They carry debris on
their legs and bodies and may spread germs
and contaminate food. Cockroaches also give
off an offensive odor that may ruin food, or
may persist on dishes or other items the
roaches run over. Cockroaches are not
a problem that most individuals can solve on
their own. Thus it is important to
call in a NIMBY
professional to handle the problem.
