Winter Pest Control in Eastern Pennsylvania
It’s usually assumed that with the cold winter weather here in Pennsylvania, that pests will just leave your place until next year.

Pennsylvania winters brings its own set of insects and other pests to lookout for. Gladiator Pest Control is here to share all you need to know about winter pest control in the Kennett Square and surrounding areas.
What Pests Are Common in our area during Winter?
Pests are common year-round. But during the winter months, home and business owners must sometimes deal with the following pests:
Mice and rats. Mice and rats require only a tiny opening (like the size smaller than a dime), or crack to get into your home. They can enter through your basement, garage, or attic and chew on electrical wires, wood beams, and insulation.
Wood destroying insects. Carpenter ants and termites will slowly destroy your home from the inside out. Most of the time you really never see the damage until it is too late. If you find them inside during the winter months, this can mean that they are most likely nesting in your walls, floors, or decaying wood.
Spider webs and nests. During the winter months if you find spider webs, nests and egg cases remove them, and clean up the area. This will help prevent pests from reemerging in your home when the weather gets nicer and warmer. Some bugs, insects, and creatures will return to certain places. So let’s get rid of all the reasons for them to return.
