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.
