Mice & Rats

Mice and rats are two of the most common pests you'll encounter during the winter. As the temperature drops, these rodents seek shelter indoors, often nesting in attics, basements, or within walls. They can cause significant damage by chewing through electrical wires and insulation.

Spiders

Winter doesn't deter spiders; in fact, it might even attract them indoors. While not all spiders pose a threat, some, like the brown recluse or black widow, can be dangerous.

Roaches

Believe it or not, any season can be cockroach season, including winter. The German cockroach, a common variety in the Northeast, can infest homes during colder months, seeking warmth and food sources.

Centipedes

Centipedes prefer to live in damp environments, which means your basement or bathroom could become their winter abode. While they're not harmful to humans, their presence can be unsettling.

Earwigs

Earwigs are typically outdoor pests, but as the weather cools, they may migrate indoors. They're attracted to areas where there's moisture, so you might spot them in bathrooms or kitchens.

Pavement Ants

Pavement ants are another pest that becomes active during winter. They invade homes in search of food, often trailing along sidewalks or driveways before entering houses.
