Spring is here! Warm weather has arrived, flowers are in bloom, and pests are crawling. Now is a good time to get a jump on spring pest control. Once the many pests awaken from winter dormancy, without a good pest control barrier around your home, you’ll go from needing pest control services to extermination services for an infestation. Here are a few pests to think about and what happens as spring approaches.
- Bed Bugs– You could experience bed bugs in your home any month of the year. Getting some in your home often relates to traveling which tends to increase as the weather turns nicer. It is never a bad idea to have your pest control professional check for them whenever you’ve returned from a trip – or even just a long weekend.
- Ants– Spring rains can often flood ant hills causing them to seek higher ground – namely, your home, which also represents a great source for food. Pest control before the rains begin, or even throughout warmer winter months when rain occurs, can help you keep ants at bay.
- Spiders– Since spiders feed on other insects, it stands to reason that they’ll wake from their winter napping when food becomes plentiful again, making spring an active time for spiders.
