Are there any seasonal pest issues I should be aware of?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, there are several seasonal pest issues that one should be aware of, as different pests are more prevalent during certain times of the year. In the spring, you may notice an increase in ants and termites as they become more active with the warmer temperatures. This is a crucial time to be vigilant, especially for homeowners at risk of termite infestations. As summer arrives, mosquitoes and flies can become more bothersome, particularly in warmer, humid climates. It is advisable to maintain a clean outdoor environment to minimize their habitats. In the fall, rodents often seek shelter indoors as temperatures begin to drop. This means it is essential to inspect for any gaps or openings in your home where mice or rats could enter. Finally, during winter, although pest activity may decline, some pests, such as cockroaches and certain stored product pests, can still be a concern indoors. Being aware of these seasonal patterns can help homeowners take proactive measures. For specific concerns, the current web page can provide helpful tips and further information.
