Cooler temperatures do not eliminate pests, they just change where they go. Many insects and rodents move toward warmth instead of disappearing, which often means they are heading indoors rather than out of the picture.

Mice and rats look for entry points as outdoor food sources become scarce. Overwintering insects like boxelder bugs and lady beetles tuck into wall voids and attics to wait out the winter. Even pests that slow down outside can still be active inside a heated home.

Lewis Pest Control services do not stop when the temperature drops. Pests do not take the winter off, and neither do we.

Give us a call at 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to make sure your home is protected going into fall and winter.

As temperatures shift in Central Virginia, boxelder bugs and lady beetles start looking for a warm place to spend the winter. Sunny, south facing walls are usually the first stop, and from there it does not take much for them to slip inside through small gaps around windows, doors, and utility lines.

Neither pest bites or causes damage, but they tend to show up in large numbers and can leave stains or odor behind when disturbed.

Lewis Pest Control includes lady beetles among the pests we regularly treat for Central Virginia homes, with an inspection based approach that finds where pests are getting in and addresses it directly.

If you are already noticing them gathering outside, now is the time to call. Reach us at 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com.

Silverfish thrive in the kind of warm, humid conditions Central Virginia has plenty of right now. They tend to show up in basements, bathrooms, and laundry areas where moisture builds up, and they are drawn to paper, cardboard, and starchy materials.

They will not bite or spread disease, but they can damage books, wallpaper, and stored belongings over time. Since a small number in your home is common and not necessarily alarming, it is regular sightings that signal a bigger issue worth addressing.

Lewis Pest Control can identify where moisture and clutter are giving silverfish a place to settle, and treat those areas directly.

If silverfish keep showing up in your home, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule an inspection.

That chirping keeping you up at night is not just an outdoor sound. Crickets often make their way into basements and garages, especially as late summer nights turn cooler and they look for a warmer, quieter place to settle in.

Once they are inside, they tend to stick to dark, damp corners where they are easy to hear but hard to find. Sealing up obvious gaps helps, but crickets are persistent about finding a way back in.

Lewis Pest Control targets basement and garage hotspots directly, seals the gaps crickets use to get inside, and finishes with a perimeter treatment so they stay out.

If the chirping has been keeping you up, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule a treatment.

Not seeing bugs does not always mean you do not have a problem. Many pests, like termites, roaches, and rodents, stay hidden in walls, crawl spaces, and other areas you do not see every day.

By the time an infestation becomes visible, it has often been building for a while. Regular pest control catches problems early, before they turn into a bigger, more expensive issue.

Lewis Pest Control inspects the areas most homeowners never think to check, so small problems get handled before they grow.

If it has been a while since your last inspection, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule one.

Spotted a roach in the kitchen or bathroom lately? Warm, humid conditions make it easier for them to find their way into Central Virginia homes.

Reaching for a spray or a fogger might feel like the fastest fix, but it often backfires. Foggers only kill a small percentage of roaches and send the rest scattering into wall voids, appliances, and light fixtures, which makes the problem harder to solve down the road.

Lewis Pest Control takes a different approach. We start with an inspection to find what is drawing roaches in, then treat the source directly. Our quarterly pest control service helps keep them from coming back.

If roaches have become a regular sight in your home, give us a call at 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule an inspection.

It is tempting to grab a spray or a fogger at the first sign of a pest problem, but these quick fixes often make things worse instead of better.

Foggers only kill a small percentage of what is actually there. The rest scatter into wall voids, appliances, and hard to reach areas, which makes the problem harder to solve later on. Store bought sprays work the same way, treating what you can see while missing where pests are actually living and breeding.

Lewis Pest Control starts with an inspection to find the real source of the problem, then treats it directly so it does not just come right back.

If DIY treatments have not solved your pest problem, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule an inspection.

Stink bugs are more of a nuisance than a real threat, but that does not make them any less annoying once they show up on window screens, siding, or porch furniture.

They are drawn to sunny, warm surfaces outside, and once the weather starts to shift, they look for any small gap to slip indoors. Spraying them once they are already inside rarely solves the problem, since new ones just keep finding their way in.

Lewis Pest Control focuses on the exterior, sealing entry points and treating the areas stink bugs use to get inside, so you are not dealing with them one at a time all season.

If stink bugs have been showing up around your home, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule an inspection.

Fleas do not stay outside for long. They hitch a ride on pets, then move into carpets, bedding, and furniture where they can multiply fast.

A few fleas can turn into a real problem within days, since they lay eggs continuously once established indoors. Store bought sprays and powders often knock down what you can see, but they rarely reach eggs and larvae hiding deeper in carpets and cracks.

Lewis Pest Control treats for fleas at every stage, not just the ones you notice, so the problem does not come right back.

If fleas have made their way into your home, call 804-735-0100 or visit lewispest.com to schedule a treatment.

Termite damage is often mistaken for something else entirely. Wood rot gets blamed more often than not, but a few specific signs point to termites instead. Dirt inside or protruding from cracks in wood is one clue, and cream-colored insects inside the wood are a clear indication of an active infestation.

Springtime swarms are another sign to watch for, usually after a warm rain. These small, dark, winged insects often show up near windows and are frequently mistaken for winged ants, but the two are not the same.

Lewis Pest Control inspects the home inside, around, and underneath to check for termite activity, and documents any evidence found along the way.
