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.

Among all household pests, bed bugs rank near the top of most-dreaded invaders — and for good reason. These small insects are masters at hiding and can transform peaceful sleep into misery. Plus, they're notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help.  Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or frequent traveler, knowing the signs of bed bugs and acting quickly is crucial.
Every fall, Ohio homeowners notice the same thing: brown, shield-shaped bugs crawling on windows, walls, and ceilings — especially when sunlight hits them. These uninvited guests are stink bugs, and they're not just exploring — they're house hunting.  Don't worry if you're seeing more of them lately. As temperatures drop, stink bugs naturally seek warm winter shelters, and your home is their ideal destination.
You’ve got the grill, the patio lights, and the lawn chairs ready — but nothing ruins a summer night faster than a swarm of mosquitoes. Here’s how to keep your Ohio backyard mosquito-free all season long.
