San Antonio Rodent Control Pest Prevention Expert Urges People to Be Proactive When It Comes to Preventing Winter Rodent Damage

Bob Jenkins Pest & Lawn, a leading San Antonio lawn and pest control service provider is now urging homeowners to take measures to ensure that critters and other pests do not infiltrate their homes during the winter months. This experienced pest control company wants people to be aware that animals and insects seek out warmer areas in the colder months just like humans do. When these infestations take place in a home, a lot of damage can occur as a result. Those at the company recommend that people use a combination of prudent steps and professional pest help to keep unwanted critters away in the winter.

Company spokesperson Mike Davidson elaborated on this by saying, “We have seen a lot of different things in our many years in the pest prevention business. One of the most common of which is the extensive damage that pests can do when they make any home theirs too. A single raccoon or squirrel living in a home has the potential to do thousands of dollars’ worth of damage. The sad thing is, most people call us after that damage has been done. If they had taken more proactive steps and leaned on our many years of pest prevention experience, there is a good chance that most, if not all, of that critter damage could have been prevented. That’s why we urge people in the San Antonio area to take actions that will prevent pest infestation ‘before’ these critters have a chance to do damage.”

Davidson says that pest prevention always starts with the homeowner. He says a change of habits is often the first line of defense when it comes to keeping unwanted critters out of a home. The foremost of which is eliminating food sources that make any home attractive to rodents and other pests. He says that is done by taking such steps as making sure trash cans are kept covered and taking pet food and water dishes inside at night. Davidson adds that restricting critter access to other water sources and blocking them from being able to get under storage sheds and homes is important too.

The spokesperson went on to say that when these self-pest prevention steps fail to work, professional help then becomes necessary. Davidson said this about how professional pest control companies like theirs can help, “Our team of experienced pest control professionals has been at this for a long time. We know the places that unwanted critters, rodents, and other pests like to hide in a home. When someone calls us for help, we will not only find and catch these unwanted pests, but we will also take steps to eliminate the access points where they entered a home.” More information on how the company gets rid of unwanted pests can be seen on their website at https://jenkinspest.com.

Davidson said the most common pests that people in San Antonio have problems with our raccoons, squirrels, armadillos, rats, opossums. Snakes, bats, and roosting birds. It may surprise many people that snapping turtles made this list too. These critters not only cause damage, but they are also known to spread infectious diseases and there is always the threat of attack when they are cornered.

The company spokesperson went on to say that the employees and staff at Bob Jenkins Pest & Lawn Services understand just how important it is for their clients to protect their homes from unwanted pests. He says they are staffed by highly-trained pest control professionals that know all the latest and best methods that are used to keep critters, rodents, and insects out of homes. All their pest and insect prevention services are done in the safest and most efficient way possible and he added they price their services competitively.
