Fall in Vancouver is a season of change. The air cools, leaves cover the ground, and many of us spend more time indoors. But you’re not the only one settling in for the season, pests are too. As temperatures drop, they start looking for shelter, and that often means your home or business becomes their next stop.
At Phantom Pest Control, we see the same culprits causing trouble every fall. Here are four fall pests you should be aware of, and why calling in professionals is the best way to keep them out of your space.
1. Mice and Rodents
Rodents are the number one problem in Vancouver once the weather cools down. Mice and rats are clever at finding small openings, and once inside, they waste no time chewing wires, nesting in insulation, and contaminating food. Their droppings and urine can also spread bacteria that put your family or employees at risk.
The truth is, once rodents get inside, they multiply fast. Traps from the hardware store might catch a few, but they won’t stop the larger infestation. That’s where Phantom Pest Control comes in. We know where rodents hide, how they move through a building, and the best way to remove them completely.
2. Spiders
As fall arrives, spiders move indoors in search of warmth and food. While most species in Vancouver aren’t dangerous, they can quickly make a home feel uncomfortable. Cobwebs in corners, basements, or around windows are an unpleasant sight for homeowners, tenants, or customers walking into your business.
Professional removal is the only way to ensure spiders and their egg sacs are completely cleared out. At Phantom Pest Control, we don’t just knock down webs, we target the source so your property feels welcoming and spider-free again.
3. Silverfish
Silverfish are small, quick-moving insects that love dark, damp areas, like basements, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. During the fall, they head indoors to escape the cool, wet weather. While they don’t bite or spread disease, they can cause damage by feeding on paper, books, wallpaper, and even clothing.
Because they hide in cracks and move fast, silverfish are hard to eliminate with store-bought sprays or traps. Phantom Pest Control utilizes targeted treatments to eliminate silverfish and prevent them from returning. We’ll help you protect your home or business from these sneaky little pests before they multiply.
4. Earwigs
Earwigs might not be as harmful as rodents or roaches, but they’re still unpleasant to find crawling around your bathroom or basement. In the fall, earwigs move indoors to escape the damp, cool outdoors. They thrive in moist spaces and can quickly become a nuisance in homes and businesses alike.
Instead of trying to deal with earwigs on your own, let our team handle the problem. We know how to identify where they’re coming from and apply the right solutions to stop them from spreading through your property.
Why You Should Call Phantom Pest Control
What all these fall pests have in common is that once they get inside, they’re hard to control without expert help. Rodents chew and contaminate, spiders leave webs in every corner, silverfish ruin paper and fabric, and earwigs show up where you least expect them.
Fall is the time to act. If you wait until winter, these pests will already be settled in and much harder to remove. Phantom Pest Control is here to handle the problem quickly and effectively, saving you the frustration and stress of trying to do it yourself.
