Backyard pests can be a woe for many gardeners, from slugs and snails to hungry rabbits and deer. And while many creepy crawlies and critters go into hibernation when the temperatures drop, there are still some that can be a menace in their hunt for sustenance and shelter.
The good news is that your plants are unlikely to be as vulnerable during these months. Aphids, for instance, overwinter as eggs, while lawn grubs go dormant, awaiting warmer weather. However, winter pests can cause damage to your home and outdoor buildings, make a mess of your yard, and can even spread diseases.
