Some sting and some bite, piercing their tiny tusks into your bare skin as you sleep. They slither and sneak through deep, murky holes in your yard and chew through wires and walls. Some wait for you to turn on the light and then scurry across the floor, over your toes, and into Lord knows which open box of cereal. Horrifying images of colonies of intruders taking over your kitchen—and your life—seep into your thoughts as you disdainfully eye a large one taking a dip in your commode. Goosebumps climb up your neck as your stomach churns and an earsplitting shriek works its way out of your throat to the alarm of anyone within a mile’s earshot. They are not only our least favorite part of nature, they are extremely difficult to control pests are on the move, and rising from their slumber in a house near you. It’s a Swamp “Thang” Maybe you’ve never had to deal with a house full of unwanted guests. But here in Myrtle Beach and the Pee Dee area, we’re never far from a swamp, which means it’s downright buggy and chockfull of all that is unpleasant when it comes to pests. We have chiggers, mosquitoes, spiders, snakes, moles, wasps, gators, fleas and more. Oh, and did I forget to mention fire ants? Those are nasty, too. One misstep and you’re covered.

But they are certainly not a welcome sight, so let’s look at a few reasons they invade our homes during this time of the year and what we can do about it. Causes For Cold Weather Pests Just like people, insects look for somewhere warm to get out of the cold and their favorite place is indoors. They may also be looking for dry spots to build their nests. This means that if you have any cracks in your siding, doors that are open a lot, screens that are lose or any other lack of a tight seal around doors and windows, these pests have a perfect way in and you are vulnerable for an invasion of pests. A Few Common Reasons Pests Are Attracted To Your Home When It’s Cold Outside On south or west facing walls, insects tend to congregate. Sometimes by the thousands.

Thus, you will need to implement more careful pest control and management strategies. Below are some ideas.

Keep in mind that spiders, moths, and mites live in tree branches and other greenery.
