Thankfully the temperatures are finally starting to drop in and around Spartanburg. Pest control in Spartanburg is a constant battle that is often compounded by the mild temperatures that we deal with throughout most of the year. As the weather starts to cool, squirrel and spider control (next week's tip) become two of the biggest issues that homeowners must face as we transition into fall. Use the following tip to help ready your home for fall.

Inspect your fascia and soffits for any damage from squirrels

As the temperatures drop, squirrels look to find places to nest that are warm and advantageous to care for their young. Unfortunately, this often can result in squirrels attempting to break into our attics. These inquisitive creatures typically like to access attics because they are protected and high off of the ground away from would be predators. Squirrels have very strong teeth and claws and can sometimes chew through the wood fascia boards or soffits that surround your home. It is a good idea to check around your home several times each year to ensure that squirrels have not made your home, their home.
