  • Where will I find fall invaders?
    Fall invaders are outdoors hiding near piles of debris or overgrown grass and foliage. You may also notice them around the foundation of your property or near windows and doors. Once they invade interior areas, fall invaders are found near windows and doors looking for warmth, crawling around furniture, or hiding near trash cans and kitchen areas.
  • Why do I have a fall invader problem?
    A fall invader problem typically occurs when these pests find an easy way into your property’s interior areas. Homes or businesses with lots of cracks and gaps, easily accessible food, and pools of excess water or moisture issues tend to attract fall invaders and encourage these pests to stick around.
  • Are fall invaders dangerous?
    Though fall invaders are a major nuisance to most property owners, they are fortunately not too dangerous. Most fall invaders aren’t known for spreading diseases, and the majority of them rarely bite humans. The dangers associated with a fall invader infestation include mild allergic reactions when coming in contact with the insects or their droppings and property damage. Stink bugs, boxelder bugs, and ladybugs leave behind their droppings while crawling over your items.
  • What are fall invaders?
    Fall invaders are those insects that make their way into human structures as the weather changes. This activity is often referred to as overwintering, as the bugs will look for warm and safe shelter to spend the colder months. Many insects are known for this behavior, but the most common ones encountered in our area include stink bugs, boxelder bugs, and ladybugs. All of these insects are easily recognizable, but if you need help identifying which fall invader is on your property, don’t hesitate to contact Southeast Termite and Pest Control.
