🏭🐭 PROTECTING WAREHOUSES FROM RODENTS 🐭🏭

Warehouses can be an ideal environment for rodents. Plenty of hiding places, stored products, loading areas, and multiple entry points can make it easy for mice and rats to move in unnoticed.

Here are a few ways to help protect your warehouse:

🔍 Inspect for Entry Points
Check doors, loading docks, vents, utility openings, and gaps along the building exterior.

🚪 Keep Doors Closed
Open dock doors can provide an easy entrance for rodents and other pests.

📦 Keep Storage Organized
Reducing clutter and keeping products elevated can limit hiding places and make signs of activity easier to spot.

🗑️ Manage Waste Properly
Garbage and food waste can provide rodents with an easy source of food.

🐭 Monitor for Activity
Droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, damaged packaging, and unusual odors can all be signs of rodent activity.

🛡️ Stay Proactive
Regular inspections and monitoring can help identify activity before a small rodent problem becomes a much larger one.

A rodent problem in a warehouse can lead to damaged products, contamination concerns, and costly disruptions.

🏭 Parshall Pest Control provides commercial pest control solutions to help warehouses identify vulnerabilities, monitor for rodent activity, and protect their facilities.

🦝🏠 HOW WILDLIFE INSPECTIONS CAN SAVE HOMEOWNERS MONEY 🏠🦝

When wildlife gets into your home, the first thing you may notice is the noise—but the longer the problem goes unnoticed, the more damage it can potentially cause.

That’s why a professional wildlife inspection can be an important first step. 🔎

Here’s how an inspection can help:

🔍 Find the entry point
Wildlife may be getting in through a small opening around the roof, soffits, vents, chimney, or other areas you may not notice from the ground.

🐿️ Identify signs of activity
An inspection can help determine whether an animal is currently using the space and look for signs such as nesting material, droppings, or damage.

🏠 Catch problems early
Addressing wildlife activity before it becomes a larger issue can help prevent additional damage to areas of your home.

🛠️ Find vulnerable areas
An inspection can identify potential entry points that could allow wildlife to get inside in the future.

💰 Prevention can be less expensive than repairs
Taking care of an entry point early may help avoid larger wildlife-related problems down the road.

If you’re hearing scratching in your attic or walls, finding droppings, noticing damage, or seeing wildlife repeatedly around your home, don’t wait until the problem gets bigger.

🦝 Parshall Pest Control can inspect your home, identify potential wildlife entry points, and help determine the next steps.

🏠🦝 FIVE PLACES WILDLIFE CAN ENTER YOUR HOME 🐿️

Wildlife doesn’t need a huge opening to get inside your home. A surprisingly small gap can become an invitation for squirrels, raccoons, bats, mice, and other unwanted guests!

Here are 5 common entry points to keep an eye on:

1️⃣ Roof & Eaves 🏠
Damaged shingles, loose fascia, and gaps around roof edges can provide easy access to attics.

2️⃣ Vents 🌬️
Roof, soffit, and wall vents can become entry points if screens or covers are damaged or missing.

3️⃣ Chimneys 🔥
An uncapped or damaged chimney can provide wildlife with access to the home while also creating a potential nesting area.

4️⃣ Gaps Around Pipes & Utility Lines 🔌
Small openings where plumbing, electrical lines, or other utilities enter the home can be easy for wildlife to exploit.

5️⃣ Foundation & Lower-Level Openings 🧱
Gaps around crawlspaces, doors, windows, and foundations can give wildlife access to lower areas of your home.

🔎 The tricky part? Wildlife may find an entry point that homeowners never notice until there are signs of activity inside.

If you're hearing scratching in the attic or walls, finding droppings, noticing damage, or seeing wildlife repeatedly around your home, it may be time for an inspection.

🦝 Parshall Pest Control can help identify potential entry points and determine what steps can be taken to protect your home.

🕷️ DID YOU KNOW? Spiders Become More Noticeable in Late Summer! 🕷️

Ever feel like spiders suddenly seem to be EVERYWHERE as summer starts winding down? You’re not imagining it!

🍂 Late summer is when many spiders become much easier to spot. As they grow and mature, they may become larger, more active, and more likely to build webs in noticeable places around your home.

You may start seeing more spiders:
🕸️ Around porches, decks, and outdoor lights
🏡 Along siding, windows, and eaves
🌳 In landscaping and gardens
💡 Near lights where insects gather
🚪 Around doors and other entry points

And there’s another reason they may seem more common: their webs are often easier to notice when they're catching insects around your home.

Most spiders are harmless and actually help by feeding on other insects. However, a sudden increase in spiders can sometimes indicate that there’s a good food source nearby.

If spiders are becoming a little too noticeable around your home, Parshall Pest Control can help identify what’s attracting them and recommend the right solution.

🕷️ More webs than you’d like to see? We’ve got you covered!

🐝 LATE-SUMMER PEST PROBLEMS WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW!

Late summer means pest and wildlife activity is in full swing—and our Traverse City team is definitely seeing it!

Just ask our TC technician Brady, who came across a huge stinging insect nest today that was bigger than his head! 😳🐝

That’s a whole lot of wasps!

Late summer is prime time for stinging insect activity because colonies are well established and populations are at their peak. Nests that started small earlier in the season can become surprisingly large by this time of year.

But wasps and hornets aren't the only problems we're seeing:

🦫 WOODCHUCKS & WILDLIFE
Burrows, lawn damage, and wildlife getting into structures are keeping our wildlife team busy.

🐭 RODENTS
As temperatures begin to change, rodents may start looking for warm, protected places to shelter.

🦟 MOSQUITOES & TICKS
We're still seeing plenty of mosquito and tick activity around yards, landscaping, and wooded areas.

🐝 WASPS, HORNETS & STINGING INSECTS
Large, established nests can mean increased activity and more aggressive behavior—especially when the nest is disturbed.

🍂 And fall invaders aren't far behind!

As we get closer to fall, pests like lady beetles, box elder bugs, and other overwintering insects will start looking for ways into homes.

If you're noticing increased pest or wildlife activity around your property, now is the time to address it before the problem gets bigger.

And Brady... we're going to need a bigger measuring tape for the next one! 😂🐝

🦇 MYTH vs. FACT: Bats Are Blind

MYTH:
"Bats are blind and can't see."

FACT:
Bats can see!

While many bats are nocturnal and use echolocation to navigate and locate insects in the dark, that doesn't mean they can't see. Their vision helps them navigate their surroundings, while echolocation gives them another incredible tool for finding their way and hunting at night.

So why do people say they're "blind"?

The phrase "blind as a bat" probably comes from the fact that bats are most active at night and have adapted to hunt in extremely low-light conditions.

🦇 Fun fact: Not all bats rely on echolocation in the same way. Some fruit-eating bats have excellent vision and rely heavily on sight to find food.

Bats are fascinating animals—and they're also incredibly beneficial to our ecosystem. Many bats eat large numbers of insects every night, helping naturally control insect populations.

So the next time you see a bat flying through the night sky, remember:

It's not flying blind. It knows exactly where it's going! 🦇
