February is a crucial month for pest control in Dallas-Fort Worth, as the mild Texas winters mean pests like rodents, ants, and termites stay active year-round. With spring just around the corner, it’s essential to get ahead of infestations before the warmer weather encourages even more pest activity. At Jacksons Mosquito & Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges of keeping homes and businesses pest-free in DFW during this transitional month.
Focus on Rodent Control During Winter’s Final Stretch
Rodents remain a top concern in February, as rats and mice continue to seek warmth indoors. If left unchecked, they can cause extensive damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood while contaminating food and surfaces with droppings. Common entry points like gaps in walls, crawl spaces, and garage doors should be inspected and sealed.
At Jacksons, our rodent exclusion services are designed to identify and seal every possible entry point, keeping rodents out for good. Whether you’ve noticed scratching sounds in the walls or found droppings in the attic, now is the time to act before spring brings increased activity.
Check for Early Signs of Termite Activity
February is the perfect time to inspect for termites in DFW. As temperatures begin to rise, termite colonies become more active, and early signs of an infestation may appear. Look for mud tubes along the foundation, discarded wings near windows, and hollow-sounding wood, all of which indicate the presence of termites.
Proactive termite inspections are key to avoiding costly structural damage. Jacksons Mosquito & Pest Control offers termite prevention and treatment plans tailored to the DFW climate, ensuring your property is protected as termite season approaches.
Prevent Ant Infestations Before Spring
Ants begin preparing for spring in February, often entering homes in search of food and water. Fire ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants are particularly common in DFW and can quickly become a problem if preventive measures aren’t taken.
To avoid infestations, keep food sealed, clean up crumbs, and eliminate standing water. For more stubborn ant issues, professional treatments target colonies at the source, ensuring long-term results. Jacksons specializes in ant control services that protect your home before the peak pest season begins.
Address Mosquito Breeding Grounds Early
Mosquito season in DFW starts earlier than you might think. By February, warmer days can lead to standing water in yards, creating the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Prevent mosquito populations from exploding in the spring by removing standing water from gutters, planters, and outdoor toys.
For comprehensive protection, our mosquito control treatments reduce breeding sites and provide lasting relief from these blood-sucking pests. Now is the ideal time to prepare your outdoor spaces so you can enjoy them as the weather warms up.
Seal Cracks and Crevices to Keep Pests Out
Pests like cockroaches and spiders take advantage of small cracks and gaps in DFW homes, especially during the cooler months. February is a great time to inspect and seal these vulnerabilities, reducing the chances of pest infestations as spring approaches.
Jacksons provides exclusion services to fortify your home or business against pests, using durable materials to block access points. From your foundation to your roofline, we make sure no pest has a way in.
