When the Edmonton air starts getting colder, it’s time to start preparing for the upcoming months. In our 30 years of service, Grimebusters has helped many commercial and residential businesses prepare for the cold months ahead. If you’re wondering how you can get ready for the change of seasons, keep reading for our top tips below.

Pests Come With the Cold

Around the time we start gravitating towards indoor activities, pests like mice and cockroaches want to come inside as well. If your business has nooks and crannies that are inviting to these creatures, you may end up hosting a few of them over the winter. Unfortunately, sometimes these animals can carry diseases that are harmful to humans. From bites and ticks to bacterial infections, mice are a health hazard. If your business has cracks in the foundation, open ventilation, or broken seals around doors or windows, mice may find their way into the business and settle in a warm corner.

Signs of pests in the home:

Teeth marks
Droppings
Smears on walls
Sounds in the walls
Eggs or egg capsules
Musty odour in the home
Missing food, chunks out of food

As soon as you notice any signs of mice, cockroaches or other pests, it’s important to contact professionals immediately. One or two cockroaches or mice can quickly turn into an infestation! Protect your commercial space from further damage by addressing it immediately.

How to Prepare for Winter

How do you ensure your home is free of pests, then? A few precautions can drastically reduce the chances of unwanted roommates moving in this winter.

Declutter

Mice are attracted to dark, cozy corners. Homes, like those of hoarders, often lend small pests the perfect cover for their nests. Piles of newspaper, towers of boxes, expired food—these things all need to be addressed before the frost comes. If you’re unable to tackle this work on your own, Grimebusters is able to help! Our experienced team can come to you and discreetly declutter your business in time for winter.

Seal cracks

If there is a crack in the seals around your doors, windows or vents, a mouse might find their way in. Before the winter hits, make sure you inspect all potential openings to your building for spaces that shouldn’t be there. This includes broken ventilation covers, foundation cracks, and holes in the drywall.

Deep clean

A side effect of colder weather is that the windows will stay closed for longer. Deep cleaning your home will help eliminate any funky indoor smells, make the office space feel fresh, and give you space back in your building.

Grimebusters’ deep cleaning team gets rid of any bug or animal trails, hair, excrement, mud, and more. Let our team clean your vents, behind large appliances, dispose of expired food, and dust from ceiling to baseboards.
