Spring – Wake-Up Call for Pests
As temperatures rise, pests become more active and begin invading homes looking for food and shelter.
- Watch for ants, termites, spiders, and stinging insects like wasps.
- Seal up cracks, repair window screens, and clear out yard debris.
- Schedule a spring inspection to catch termite swarms and early infestations.
Summer – Peak Pest Season
Warm, humid weather fuels population growth for most pests.
- Mosquitoes, ants, fleas, ticks, and cockroaches are highly active.
- Eliminate standing water, trim shrubs, and keep outdoor trash sealed.
- Use barrier treatments to deter pests from entering the home.
Fall – Rodents on the Move
As the weather cools, pests look for warmth—and your home is a prime target.
- Rodents, stink bugs, and spiders start sneaking indoors.
- Store firewood away from your house and seal entry points.
- Schedule rodent control or exclusion service to stop nesting early.
Winter – Silent But Sneaky
While some pests go dormant, others stay hidden and active indoors.
- Mice, rats, and cockroaches remain active in basements, attics, and kitchens.
- Inspect for droppings, chew marks, or strange odors in enclosed spaces.
- Use winter service visits to monitor bait stations and check for hidden issues.

Ohio weather is unpredictable—warm and sunny one day, cold and rainy the next. While you're adjusting your thermostat, pests are making plans of their own. Environmental changes like heavy rain, heatwaves, and early frosts directly influence pest behavior. When conditions shift, pests start moving—often straight into your home. Here's why Ohio's weather plays such a crucial role in pest invasions and how you can stay protected year-round.

Pumpkin spice season might be in full swing, but so is something less festive — fall pest invasions. As temperatures cool, pests start preparing for winter by finding shelter, food, and warmth. And unfortunately, your home is the perfect place to find all three. Every year, Ohio homeowners deal with a surge of fall invaders. But with a little preparation (and the right pest control partner), you can keep them out.

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.
