Spring 2025 Pest Alert: What Ohio Homeowners Need to Know

Seasonal Pest Watch: What Ohio Homeowners Should Know for Spring 2025

7014692967 • April 15, 2025

With the arrival of spring, Ohio residents can expect an uptick in certain pests seeking shelter and food in and around homes. Warmer temperatures and increased moisture create the perfect storm for unwanted guests like ticks, cockroaches, and ants. This season, these pests are projected to be especially active — and if you’re not prepared, they can quickly become more than just a nuisance.

Ticks – Tiny Threats with Big Consequences

Ticks are more than just irritating — they can pose serious health risks by transmitting diseases like Lyme disease. As people and pets spend more time outdoors this spring, tick prevention is essential.

Keep your lawn trimmed and remove leaf litter to eliminate tick-friendly habitats.
Wear long sleeves and pants when walking through wooded or grassy areas.
Regularly inspect your pets for ticks and speak with your veterinarian about effective prevention.

Cockroaches – Unwanted Springtime Guests

Cockroaches thrive in warm, moist environments, making spring the perfect time for them to become more active. These pests not only contaminate food but can also trigger allergies and asthma.

Seal up cracks, crevices, and any gaps where they might be sneaking in.
Store food in airtight containers and clean up spills promptly.
Address moisture issues by fixing leaky pipes and improving ventilation in bathrooms and basements.

Ants – The Marching Menace

Ants may be small, but in springtime they travel in armies — and your kitchen is often their destination. Once they find a food source, they’ll keep coming back unless stopped.

Sweep floors, wipe down counters, and keep food sealed to avoid attracting them.
Remove trash frequently and keep pet food tightly sealed.
Ask about exterior perimeter treatments to block ant entry before it starts.

One-Time Pest Control vs. Year-Round Protection: What Ohio Homeowners Need to Know

By 7014692967 • August 11, 2025

When pests show up, it’s tempting to call for a one-time treatment and be done with it. After all, if the bugs are gone, the problem’s solved — right? Not quite. The reality is pests don’t just pop up randomly. Their activity follows seasonal patterns, environmental conditions, and even the layout of your home. A single spray might offer relief, but pests will be back — unless you stop them at the source. Here’s why year-round pest control is a smarter investment for Ohio homeowners.
