Winter in southern Arizona may look calm outside, but inside and around your home, pests are still very active. Rodents seek warmth, termites remain quietly active, and ants, spiders, and cockroaches can find their way indoors.
At Bill’s Home Service Company, we’ve been helping families across Green Valley, Tucson, and southern Arizona protect their homes from pests and termites since 1964. Here’s what you should know to keep your winter worry-free.
🐭 Rodents & Indoor Pests
Cold weather drives mice, rats, and other pests indoors looking for shelter and food. Common entry points include cracks around utility lines, vents, and rooflines.
DIY prevention tips:
- Seal gaps and cracks around doors, windows, and foundations.
- Store pet food and birdseed in sealed containers.
- Reduce clutter in attics, garages, and crawl spaces.
Professional solution:
Our pest control services remove existing infestations and provide guaranteed protection 365 days a year. Our rodent control and exclusion services identify entry points and prevent repeat infestations.
🐜 Termites Remain Active in Winter
Termites don’t hibernate in southern Arizona. Mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or small dirt spots on interior walls are warning signs.
Preventive action:
- Maintain proper drainage and reduce moisture around your home.
- Keep firewood and debris away from the foundation.
Professional protection:
Schedule a termite inspection to catch activity early and protect your home year-round.
🌿 Winter Landscaping & Weed Tips
Even in winter, weeds can grow in desert soils, creating habitat for pests.
- Trim vegetation away from the home.
- Remove leaf litter or debris.
- Consider professional weed control services to prevent excessive weeds growth once warmer temperatures arrive.
