Every Season Brings New Pest Challenges
From ants in the spring to rodents in the winter, knowing what to expect helps you stay a step ahead of pests all year long.
Spring: Ants & Wasps
As temperatures rise, ants begin foraging for food, and wasps become more active. Inspect your home’s exterior for entry points, fix any leaks, and keep food sealed to avoid attracting pests.
Summer: Mosquitoes, Flies & Cockroaches
Warm, humid weather creates ideal breeding conditions. Eliminate standing water, keep gutters clear, and install or repair window screens. Fix leaks under sinks and appliances to discourage cockroaches.
Fall: Spiders & Rodents
As the weather cools, pests seek warmth indoors. Seal cracks around doors and windows, cover exterior vents, and store firewood away from your home. Declutter storage areas to reduce hiding spots.
Winter: Rodents & Silverfish
Rodents often chew through insulation and wiring in search of warmth. Keep garages, attics, and basements clean and dry. Store food in airtight containers, and use dehumidifiers in damp areas to keep silverfish at bay.
