Winter Pest Problems in Kelowna

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:

Rodents

Rats and mice become particularly problematic during winter, seeking warmth and shelter in Okanagan homes. These unwanted visitors can cause significant structural damage and pose serious health risks to your family.

Overwintering Insects

As a leading pest control Kelowna BC service provider, Pest Detective regularly manages:

  • Carpenter ants seeking shelter in wall voids
  • Box elder bugs clustering around warm exterior walls
  • Elm seed bugs making their way indoors

Tips for Prevention

Drawing from Pest Detective’s decades of experience as a trusted exterminator Kelowna residents rely on, here are key prevention strategies:

Seal All Points of Entry

Inspect your home’s exterior for gaps, cracks, and potential entry points. Even the smallest opening can provide access for determined pests.
