Google post ideas for pest control companies: November to January

As the weather cools, mice, rats and some insects look for a warm place to spend the winter, and that is often a house. Winter is a good time to talk about sealing entry points and to book inspections before spring. These ideas keep your posts timely and stick to what your company actually offers.

How to use this list

Pick one idea a week and rotate the kinds of post: a seasonal tip, a service spotlight, a local post, a customer question, and a real offer only when you have one. Don't run the same kind two weeks in a row.
Only mention services you actually offer and facts you can point to on your own website. No made-up prices, discounts or promises.
Put the point in the first sentence. Name your service and your town once, naturally.
Use one of your own job photos when one fits. Never use a stock photo that pretends to be your work.
Use the Call now or Book button for the next step. Google's posts policy says posts with contact details it can't verify, including phone numbers, may be removed (Google's posts content policy).

Include: One of your own photos of an entry point you sealed and your rodent service.
How our rodent service works
Walk through your real steps, like the inspection, sealing entry points and follow-up visits, so people know what they are booking.

Scratching in the attic or walls? What it could be

Signs of mice you might miss

Bugs gathering on the sunny side of the house
In many areas, insects like stink bugs and lady beetles cluster on warm walls in fall and slip in through small gaps, so sealing gaps helps.
Include: Post this only if these insects are common where you work, with your service area.
Holiday cooking and pantry pests
Holiday baking means more flour, grains and treats in the pantry, so share storage tips like sealed containers and wiping up crumbs.
Include: Your city name and your general pest service.
Clean up the garage and shed before winter
Pet food, bird seed and clutter in garages and sheds attract rodents, so moving them into sealed bins is a simple step.

December

Holiday storage, firewood and the right service plan

Firewood and pests: store it away from the house
Wood piles can hide insects and rodents, so suggest stacking wood off the ground, away from the walls, and bringing in only what you will burn soon.

Check holiday boxes before you bring them in
Decorations stored in attics, basements and garages can show signs of rodents, so look for chewing or droppings and switch to lidded plastic bins.

Bringing in a real tree or fresh greenery?
Give the tree or greenery a good shake and look it over outside before bringing it in, so any hitchhiking insects stay outdoors.

Explain the difference between a regular plan and a single visit so homeowners can choose what fits their home.

Include: Only your company's own statement from your website, or 'Ask us about the products we use and the steps we take.'

Include: Your city name, your plan options and the Book button.
Why am I seeing bugs in the middle of winter?

In many warm areas termites swarm in spring, so winter is a calm time to book an inspection, especially before buying or selling a home.

Spiders in the basement or garage

Meet your pest control technician
Introducing your tech helps people feel comfortable letting someone into their home.
Include: A real photo of your tech and any training or licenses only if you hold them.

Where you are changes the list

Cold-winter areas

Rodents and overwintering insects are the main winter story, while most outdoor insects slow down. Lean on entry-point sealing, rodent service and inspections. Use January to sign up spring prevention plans.

Warm-winter areas

In the South, Gulf Coast, Florida, the Southwest and coastal California, ants, roaches and other insects stay active all year. Swap rodent-moving-indoors posts for year-round prevention, and heavy rain pushing ants inside where that happens. Termite inspection posts fit well ahead of spring.

Pacific Northwest

The long rainy season keeps crawl spaces and basements damp. Posts about moisture-loving pests, leaks and rodents seeking dry shelter fit these months.

Questions customers ask this time of year

Do I need pest control in the winter?: Winter is when rodents and some insects try to move indoors, so it is a good time to seal entry points and check for signs. A winter inspection also sets you up for spring. If you see activity now, it is worth a call.
How do mice get into my house?: They squeeze through gaps around pipes, vents, doors, garage doors and the foundation, and those openings can be smaller than most people expect. An inspection finds the entry points so they can be sealed. Keeping food sealed and clutter down helps too.
