Fall Perimeter Pest Control: Stop Bugs Before They Come Inside

Posted on September 3, 2025

When temperatures drop, pests look for warmth — and your house is the closest option. Fall perimeter pest control is the best way to block ants, spiders, and cockroaches before they make it inside.

Why Fall Is Prime Time for Pest Invasions

Cooler nights and less food outdoors push bugs to find shelter. Add in rain and piles of leaves, and your foundation becomes a magnet for them. Cracks and gaps give pests just enough of an opening to slip indoors.

Common Fall Invaders

  • Ants — searching for food and moisture indoors.
  • Spiders — building webs inside when prey outdoors slows down.
  • Cockroaches — sneaking into kitchens and bathrooms for warmth.

  • Spider webs in basements, garages, or corners.

  • Movement or scratching noises at night.
