It’s not just the cooler weather making its way into Benbrook homes this month—local residents are reporting an unexpected invasion of flies, crickets, and mice.
Over the past week, several neighbors have shared their frustrations, noting that flies seem to be multiplying indoors despite keeping doors and windows shut.
Others have spotted mice and crickets in garages and yards, with some already setting traps or sealing gaps with steel wool to keep pests out. A few residents have even found creative fixes, like sprinkling salt in trash bins or using peroxide in outdoor areas to prevent larvae from hatching.
As temperatures drop, pests look for warmth and shelter, making garages, sheds, and even kitchen corners their new home. It’s a good reminder to inspect door seals, store food securely, and keep outdoor trash areas clean.
For persistent infestations, residents may want to contact a local pest control service for a seasonal inspection before the problem grows.
