Every season brings change—weather, activities, and unfortunately, pests. Just as we adapt our homes for different times of the year, pests do too. Understanding which pests are most active in each season can help you take the right preventive measures and maintain a pest-free home year-round:
1. Spring(Termites, Ants & Wasps Begin to Stir)
As temperatures rise and flowers bloom, pests that were dormant during winter begin to reappear. Spring is prime time for many pests to breed and establish colonies.
- Ants, termites, and wasps become more active.
- Ideal time for termite inspections.
2. Summer(Ants, Mosquitoes & Flies Invade)
The hot months of summer are a peak time for pest activity. Increased heat drives many pests indoors, especially where there’s moisture and food.
- Mosquitoes, flies, and ants peak.
- Keep your kitchen clean and yard tidy.
3. Autumn(Rodents & Spiders Seek Shelter)
As the weather cools, many pests look for a warm place to overwinter. Your cozy home becomes the perfect refuge.
- Rodents seek warmth indoors.
- Seal entry points and check attic spaces.
4. Winter(Cockroaches & Rodents Settle In)
Though it may seem like pests go dormant in winter, some thrive in the warmth of your home. If you’re not careful, they’ll stick around longer than your holiday guests.
- Cockroaches and rodents are the main concerns.
- Declutter storage areas and maintain regular pest inspections.
