Most people know that the summer months are filled with pests of all shapes and sizes. What they may not realize is that pests are a threat regardless of the season. The one thing that will change from season to season is the type of pest you’re dealing with. When you let your guard down at any time during the year, you can easily end up with a pest infestation on your hands. Effective Pest Services is here to walk you through pest control throughout the year so that you can be sure that your home is protected from damaging pest infestations.
What Pests are a Problem During Different Times of the Year
No matter what time of the year it is, you are going to have to ensure you have your guard up against pests. If not, you could end up with a much bigger problem on your hands that is harder to get rid of. Here is a rundown of the seasons and the different challenges each season faces:
– Swarming Season (Spring): Warmer weather that comes with spring means that pests are going to start emerging from their hiding places. They will start finding places where they can set up colonies. Pests like ants and stinging pests become particularly active after the weather is higher than 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
– Breeding Season (Late Spring/Early Summer): Once nesting spots are settled, pests are going to buckle down and starting building colonies and breeding. If you don’t stay on top of pest control measures, you will have a problem quickly during these warm breeding months.
– High Season (Summer/Late Summer): With colonies and pest population at its peak, you will have more and more pest encounters during the summer and late summer season. Some harmful pests, including stinging insects can pose a real threat to you and those you love.
– Prep Season (Fall): During this time of year, pests will notice the shift in the weather just like you do. The shorter days and colder nights will tip off pests that winter is approaching, and they will be looking for somewhere warm to hide and wait out the winter. Your home offers a place with food, warmth and water; all of which are necessary for their survival.
– Shelter Season (Winter): If you aren’t careful, winter is the time when pests will hide in your walls, attics and basements for a warm place to hide out. Pests like ants, spiders and especially mice will all be looking for shelter during the winter.
