Spring Pests in Your Home – What to Expect

A lot of bugs emerge in the spring. But there are certain species of insects that are especially prevalent during this time of year.

Insects react to extreme cold weather in different ways. Some insects die off but leave behind eggs that can survive the cold and then hatch in the warmer weather in spring. In areas where temperatures didn’t get as cold, warmer weather means that fewer of those insects died off, so you’re dealing with those insects as well as their hatching eggs.

As we head into the warmer spring months, what should you expect regarding pests in and around your home? At B & D Pest Solutions LLC, you will find the answer to all your pest control needs. With customized services created by highly trained pest management technicians, you can expect the best pest protection.

Common Spring Bugs

A lot of bugs emerge in the spring. But there are certain species of insects that are especially prevalent during this time of year. The most common bugs you can expect to see this spring include:

• Carpenter Ants
• Mosquitos
• Termites
• Rats
• Spiders

Now is the time to prepare your home and combat pests proactively. At B & D Pest Solutions LLC, you will find the answer to all your pest control needs. With customized services created by highly trained pest management technicians, you can expect the best pest protection.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants seek food and shelter as soon as the sun comes out. They can cause structural damage to your home because they establish colonies in the walls. They will travel far from their nests to find food. If you hear rustling sounds inside the walls or notice piles of wood shavings underneath wooden items, you likely have a carpenter ant infestation.

They look for easy areas to enter a home. They enter through piping, the foundation, cracks in your home, electrical wires, and attic vents. B & D Pest Solutions LLC will provide you with expert pest control solutions. We will identify the problem and get rid of any infestation as well as prevent future infestations.

Mosquitos

We all understand how annoying and frustrating mosquitos are. In addition to causing itchy bites, mosquitos can carry diseases that could make you, your family, and even your pets sick. Don’t wait for them to take over your yard. Spring is the time to combat mosquitos proactively. We can design mosquito treatments tailored to your home.

Termites

Termites are seriously destructive pests that eat wood. They swarm at the beginning of spring and after a rain. However, they don’t all swarm at the same time. They can cause a lot of serious and costly damage in a relatively short period of time. Your home can easily have an infestation before you even know it. It takes an expert pest control company to identify and eliminate termites in your home.

Rats

Rats are active all year long. However, their breeding season is from April to June and then again in October and November. Rats are not only off-putting and disturbing pests to have in your home, but they can harbor and transmit several diseases.

Spiders

Spiders love springtime. Most spiders are harmless, but Black Widows and Brown Recluse are extremely venomous, and their bite can be fatal. These dangerous spiders like damp, cool, dark environments such as basements, air vents, and attics. They can enter a home through poorly sealed windows, and doors carried in on boxes and other containers.

Residential Pest Control

A pest infestation comes with an increased risk of property damage and potential sickness. Don’t deal with an infestation on your own, as this can be even more dangerous. At B & D Pest Solutions LLC, our job is to keep spring pests out of your home. Our professional pest control technicians will inspect your yard and home to assess your individual needs. We will identify entry points, make recommendations to seal or treat certain areas.
