Massachusetts pest control
While the weather in New England may be unpredictable at times, the change of season brings one kind of certainty in Massachusetts each fall. Rodents and spiders will be looking for ways to get inside to escape the cold. Since we know it's coming, here some some fall pest control tips for rodents and spiders in Massachusetts. 
- Clean the clutter! When leaves fall from trees, don't wait to undertake your fall yard cleanup. The more leaf litter and yard debris that builds up, the more likely it is for rodents and spiders to seek refuge, especially when it's close to your foundation. Maintain a clutter-free zone near your foundation to eliminate potential harborage areas for these pests. At Burgess, we have a turf division called Burgess Turf, that can perform your fall yard cleanups.
- Access points. All pests look for ways to get inside. If you see any openings along your foundation or basement sill area, seal them. Mice can feel warm air currents passing through these gaps, which helps them find access points to get inside. Spiders have an even easier time finding gaps to crawl inside. Any sealing you do will help reduce your pest pressure.
- Stay on schedule. When our team at Burgess Pest Management services homes on a quarterly schedule, we need to treat the exterior of your home in the fall. This helps to build a residual barrier outside to help cut down on the number of spiders getting in. For mice, we're able to add bait to exterior rodent stations and search for entry points.
Consistency is key in implementing these fall pest control tips for rodents and spiders in Massachusetts. By staying on a disciplined pest control schedule, our team can keep your pest pressure to a minimum.
