Maximum Pest Management

As temperatures drop, our owner Mike Burnshire shared his insights with KWCH 12 News on what homeowners should know about keeping unwanted guests out this fall and winter. After nearly 30 years in pest management, Mike’s advice is simple but powerful:

🐜 Stay tidy. A clean home is the first line of defense. Pests love clutter, cardboard, and forgotten corners.

🕷️ Seal it up. Check around doors, garages, and foundations for small gaps…those tiny spaces are prime entry points.

🐀 Watch the “hot spots.” Basements, attics, and garages are pest real estate this time of year. Keep boxes sealed and clutter to a minimum.

🚫 Don’t wait until it’s a problem. If you’re already seeing activity, it’s time to bring in professionals before it spreads.

We’re proud to see Mike representing Maximum Pest Management and sharing the same practical, down-to-earth advice our customers trust every day.
