When it comes to bugs, one remedy will not suffice. Every season delivers something new, which is why it’s critical to have your service available all year. Here are some typical pests to keep an eye out for during each season:

SPRING: 

The arrival of spring brings with it an increase in temperature, the melting of ice, and the blooming of flowers. Many bugs emerge from their winter hiding spots when temperatures rise. When these animals emerge, they will be thinking about food and water! For many species, spring is also the breeding season. Here are a few common spring pests to keep an eye out for:

• Ants: In warmer temperatures, ants seek food. Ants will move further out from their hives in search of food as temperatures rise. This will eventually lead to their breaking into our homes. Spring rains also push ants out of their colonies in search of higher ground.

• Termites: Termite season begins in the spring when termites leave their nests to marry and establish new colonies. This is also referred to as “swarming.”
• Mosquitoes: Spring showers provide an ideal hatching environment for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will become more active in the spring as they prepare for their peak season in the summer.
• Flies: At the start of spring, flies gain adulthood. When they reach maturity, they will congregate in human-populated regions in search of food. They favor drinks and sugary foods.

• Spiders: Spiders become busy in the spring as they look for food. The surge in insect activity when they awaken from their winter nap gives plenty of food for spiders.

• Stinging Pests: Bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets are examples of stinging insects. In the spring, these insects emerge from their dormant state and become more active. Spring marks the beginning of their breeding season as they attempt to create their nests and breed.

• Bed Bugs: Bed bugs are a year-round concern, but their populations can jump in the spring due to increased travel for Easter and spring break from schools.

SUMMER: 

While we get a vacation from pests during the summer, there are a few species that thrive during this hot season. Summer is often the time of year when many pests mature and pose less of a hazard to humans. Here are some of the most frequent summer pests:

• Mosquitoes: The most prevalent summer pest is mosquitoes. Warmer temperatures encourage mosquitos to complete their life cycle faster, resulting in more eggs laid during the summer months. Summer rains also provide a great environment for mosquito breeding.
• Stinging Insects: Stinging insects are most abundant in the summer. Nests are frequently built in any gaps in your house, under overhangs, or in the ground near your foundation.

• Ants: Ants are still a nuisance in the summer. Ants will continue to seek cover in the higher ground as the rains continue throughout the season. They will also continue to scavenge in our homes for food.

• Flies: Flies are most active during the summer. This is also the prime breeding season for them. Flies will lay their eggs in animal feces, rubbish, and rotting food.

• Termites: Termites are more active during the summer. This is the season when they continue to eat wood while the queen lays eggs and builds her colonies.

• Bed Bugs: Bed bugs are, once again, a year-round issue. Many populations thrive throughout the summer months as a result of increased travel during summer vacation from school.

FALL: 

The season of lower temperatures. Pests begin to prepare for the oncoming winter at this time of year. Many pests will seek warmth and shelter within our houses. Here are some of the most prevalent fall pests:

• Cockroaches: One of the most frequent fall pests is the cockroach. Cockroaches cannot survive in cooler temperatures, so they begin to migrate indoors in search of refuge and warmth in the fall. Cockroaches have been observed hiding near pipelines and drains. They have the potential to spread disease and aggravate asthma.

• Spiders: Spiders, like cockroaches, are plentiful in the fall for the same reasons. They will seek shelter indoors to avoid the harsher winter conditions since many flying insect populations fall when the weather cools. Spiders also reproduce in the fall, so activity will pick up as males look for mates.

• Rodents: Rodents are yet another prevalent fall pest. As the weather cools, rodents will seek warmth, shelter, food, and water indoors. Rodents not only spread disease, but they will also eat down your home’s wood supports and electrical wiring.
• Fleas: Fleas accompany rodents. Fleas thrive in warm weather, so when the weather cools, their populations indoors increase. Fleas will enter your home via your dogs and any other wildlife that comes into your home during the fall.
• Stinkbugs: In the fall, stinkbugs become a problem. When threatened, stinkbugs are known to create a very nasty odor. Stinkbugs are also considered a big agricultural issue since they can cause significant crop damage.

WINTER: 

While many pests hibernate or go dormant throughout the winter, don’t get too comfortable! There are still many pests that we observe in greater numbers throughout the winter months as they seek shelter from the harsh cold 

weather. Here are a few examples of frequent winter pests:

• Rodents: Rodents are the most common pests that we see in the winter. Rats, mice, and squirrels will infiltrate our homes in search of a warm place to live and an abundance of food and water.
• Roaches: While most cockroach species die off over the winter, Oriental roaches and German roaches remain active. They prefer dark, wet locations, which are common in the winter.
• Bed Bugs: Bed bug populations are active all year, but they generally thrive during the winter months because these are the busiest travel times of the year.
