Why Deer Park

Why Deer Park Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Serious cold compresses the whole autumn into a few weeks. Everything that intends to overwinter indoors has to be inside before the ground freezes, so rodents, cluster flies and overwintering beetles arrive in one concentrated push rather than trickling in, and the work has to be finished before that push begins.

Hay and grain give them the numbers to push with. Baled hay stacked through the winter holds mice in quantity, grain storage feeds them, and old barns and machine sheds around the town provide the staging ground between the fields and the houses.

Common Questions

Deer Park Pest Questions, Answered

Everything arrives in the same fortnight.
That is what a hard winter does. There is no long, mild autumn to spread it out, so the move indoors is compressed into a few weeks in October. It means the exclusion work has to be finished in September; done in November it is largely wasted. Booking that work in late summer, when nothing is happening yet, is the single most useful habit for a property up here.
Flies at the windows on sunny winter days.
Cluster flies that went into the wall void in autumn, warmed up and came out on the inside. They do not breed indoors and they are harmless, but nothing sprayed now will reach the ones still in the wall. Next August is when the sealing needs doing.
Mice in the house every single winter.
With hay and grain nearby the supply is effectively unlimited, so the only variable you control is the building. Sealing every ground-level gap, including the ones behind the hay or against the shed, is worth more than any amount of trapping. Stacking bales away from the walls rather than against them removes the covered approach they use.
Should the barn be treated too?
Out here, almost always. The barn holds the feed and the shelter, so it carries the population; the house receives the overflow. Treating the house alone means repeating the same job every autumn.
Do we need to worry about termites?
Very little compared with carpenter ants, which cause most of the structural damage in this part of the state. Firewood stacked against a wall and old timber in contact with soil are the two things worth changing.
