It’s Never Just One Pest

It’s Never Just One Pest

Pests need to get away from the cold, and they often build large nests or even entire colonies inside concealed areas within the home. This may go on for a long time without ever alerting the homeowner to the nature and size of the problem. However, even if the homeowner remains unaware of these activities, it could still impact the value of the property.

Winter Pests

Many pests who infiltrate residential areas have a pattern of behavior. They like to build large nests and colonies inside of abandoned attics, which may also contain moist or damp areas. Some pests need this wood to maintain their colonies, and they can quietly damage the property for a long time. 

Common winter pests include: 

 

  • Termites
  • Ants
  • Rats 
  • Roaches
  • Beetles
  • Silverfish

 

While some of these pests may not seem capable of doing significant damage to the home, this belief is probably created by thinking of the pest as a single unit. The most damage to property comes from a large number of pests all doing their part to erode the structure of the home over a period of time. This is a different situation than the one faced by a homeowner confronting a single rat or termite. Behind the walls and ceilings could be hundreds of critters, and some of them might even be carrying diseases.
