It might feel obvious that outdoors pests are now seeking indoor residency in homes and commercial buildings, but there’s a good number of them seeking these new homes for the winter!

Exodus Exterminating put together a great list of the top 5 pests that we should all be trying to avoid this winter!
- 1 – Rats & Mice; they seek warmth, food, and water sources. Keep them out by protecting gaps like under doorways with Burrtec products.
- 2 – Stinkbugs; they also seek a winter home and they simple follow their name, bringing a stench.
- 3 – Spiders; these creepy crawlers are easy to prevent by closing gaps and using door sweeps products like those from Burrtec.
- 4 – Boxelder Bugs; they come through cracks and crevices and can stain upholstery and walls with droppings.
- 5 – Cluster Flies; they come seeking hibernation spots and good screens and strong traps will keep them out.
Of the five pests, rodents are the worst when it comes to creating damage and spreading disease. Keeping them out before they get in is the best way to control them.
