As the winter season is in full swing in the Okanagan Valley, your cozy home becomes an irresistible sanctuary for unwanted guests. While many believe pest problems disappear during winter, Kelowna residents often face increased indoor pest activity during the colder months. At Pest Detective, we’ve helped countless homeowners tackle these seasonal challenges.
Common Winter Invaders
The expert technicians at Pest Detective frequently encounter these persistent winter pests during pest control Kelowna service calls:
