Why winter pest treatment still matters in Central Texas

It's tempting to skip the winter pest visit. Bugs seem to disappear in December. But Austin winters are short and mild, and many pests just move somewhere warmer: your walls, attic, and garage.

What's active in winter

• American cockroaches in drains, crawl spaces, and attics
• Silverfish in closets, bathrooms, and stored boxes
• Mice and roof rats looking for warm nesting spots
• Brown recluse spiders in undisturbed storage areas

Keeping the barrier up

A winter treatment keeps the protective barrier around your foundation, so spring doesn't start from zero. When warm days come in February and March, pests that wake up run into a treated perimeter instead of an open door.

Warranty reminder

Skipping a scheduled visit suspends the warranty until your next full paid visit. Keeping the winter visit means covered pests that show up in early spring are handled at no charge.
