Creepin’ It Real: Fall Pests That Haunt Your Home

Fall Pest Control: Residential Tips to Stop Pests Before They Invade

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year—cooler weather, cozy nights, and a touch of spooky fun as Halloween approaches. But while we’re carving pumpkins and setting out decorations, seasonal pest control is essential as some truly unwanted “trick-or-treaters” are looking for ways to sneak inside.

Mice and roaches may not wear costumes, but they’re masters of disguise; they lurk in the walls, scurry across floors, and multiply in the dark. This fall season, the real horror story isn’t a haunted house attraction—it’s pests invading your home.

Do not fear—Turner is here with SMART Pest Control for fall pests.

The Phantom in Your Walls: Mice

As temperatures drop, mice start seeking shelter in warm, hidden spaces. Your attic, basement, or even the walls of your home can become their fall getaway. Unfortunately, these tiny trespassers bring big problems.

Mice can chew through wiring, contaminate food, and spread harmful bacteria—all while staying almost invisible.

How to tell if you’re sharing your home with mice:

• Nighttime scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings.

• Droppings in cabinets, pantries, or along baseboards.

• Chewed packaging, wires, or insulation.

• Gaps or holes around doors, windows, or vents.

One mouse sighting often means more are nearby. Left unchecked, a small problem can quickly turn into a full infestation.

Roach Prevention and Cockroach Control Tips for Fall

Roaches thrive in the cooler months by moving into kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Once they’re in, they’re hard to get out. These pests reproduce rapidly and carry allergens that can trigger asthma and respiratory issues.

How to Spot a Roach Infestation Before It Grows:

• Roaches scattering when you flip the lights on.

• Musty or oily smells in corners or under appliances.

• Egg cases hidden in cracks or crevices.

• Tiny droppings (similar to black pepper) near food or water sources.

Because roaches don’t need much to survive, prevention is critical. If they’ve already found a way inside, professional treatment is often the only way to completely get rid of them.
