As the temperatures drop and pests begin seeking a warm cozy logging, make sure that spot isn\u2019t your rental.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This seasonal shift can bring an influx of unwanted guests, including rodents, spiders, and insects. Whether you are a landlord, property manager, or are a renter yourself, there are some important precautions you can take to keep the space pest-free throughout the autumn season and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-pests-in-the-fall\">Common Pests in the Fall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the pest prevention industry, certain pests are known as occasional invaders. These are seasonal pests that appear indoors based on the climate or season. These <a href=\"https:\/\/maggiesfarmproducts.com\/blogs\/bug-help\/overwintering-pests#:~:text=Overwintering%20pests%20typically%20stay%20hidden,cluster%20flies%2C%20and%20stink%20bugs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overwintering pests<\/a> are ones that typically will stay hidden during the winter and cold seasons but will emerge as temperatures rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, \u2018staying hidden\u2019 could mean seeking shelter in a rental property. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklinpestsolutions.com\/blog\/common-fall-pests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to pest experts<\/a>, there are twelve common fall pests that you may find in a home as these insects, arachnids, and animals prepare for overwintering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-common-fall-pests-to-look-out-for\">12 Common Fall Pests to Look Out for:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cigarette Beetle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confused Flour Beetle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spider Beetle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Larder Beetle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centipede<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stink Bug<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boxelder Bug<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asian Lady Beetle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>House Mouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Norway Rat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silverfish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fruit Fly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prevention-measures-for-fall-pest-control\">Prevention Measures for Fall Pest Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, with these overwintering pests, seeing a few does not necessarily signify a full-blown infestation, and there are ways that you can mitigate the risk that these pests will continue to seek shelter within the rental property. Landlords and property managers should incorporate pest mitigation strategies into their fall property maintenance procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pest-tips-for-landlords\">Pest Tips for Landlords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of annual maintenance, landlords should be tackling a few seasonal tasks each autumn. Checking the exterior for any holes or cracks and conducting general maintenance are essential each season, but can be crucial in the colder months as weatherproofing and pests prevention becomes more important. Trimming exterior bushes and keeping them from getting too close to the building can also remove excess debris that pests can hide inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that small critters and pests like rats, mice, and even squirrels can burrow in your property\u2019s insulation and cause ice damage to your roof. To prevent an infestation, caulk small holes and cover large holes with hardware cloth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanesociety.org\/resources\/keep-wildlife-out\">The Humane Society<\/a> recommends the following tips for animal-proofing your property: caulk for small holes, staple or screw hardware cloth over larger holes, or make permanent repairs. Bug screen (1\/4 inch hardware cloth) will not hold up to stronger animals, such as raccoons, so 16 gauge 1&#215;1 inch steel mesh is recommended for raccoons. Specifically for squirrels, solid aluminum flashing is the exclusion material of choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/rentals-ready-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Are Your Rentals Ready For Fall?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pest-tips-for-tenants\">Pest Tips for Tenants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding a pest problem is far easier than getting rid of an infestation once it has occurred.
