Pests have a set of basic needs that must be met in order for them to survive. The vast majority of homes have all of the elements pests need to survive and multiply. In fact, many homeowners unknowingly create a perfect environment for pests inside their homes. Are you inviting pests into your home and encouraging them to stay? You may be surprised to learn how easy it is to inadvertently create an appealing place for pests inside your home.

Mosquitoes are one of the most dangerous and deadliest creatures on the planet. The World Health Organization points out that mosquitoes infest millions of people per year with serious diseases like Malaria, Zika Virus, and West Nile Virus. Some of the diseases spread by mosquitoes are rare in the US – and much more prevalent in developing countries – but these pests still put people at risk. Not to mention the fact that they can leave you with itchy and annoying bumps. If you and your family want to spend time out in the yard during the spring and summer, you need to take steps to protect your family from mosquitoes.

Many people do not start thinking about the importance of pest control until pests start to become a problem. When the weather warms up in the spring and summer there are some pests that seem to come out in droves. Other pests will cause you problems all year long no matter what the weather is like outside. You may be wondering if you need more frequent pest services during the spring and summer to combat the increase in pest activity. The amount of pest control you need now and throughout the year depends upon a number of factors.

There are so many things to look forward to in the spring. More hours of sunlight and warmer weather both do a lot to make life a little more enjoyable. When it is wintertime and you are dreaming about spring it is easy to look at that time of year with rose colored glasses. But when spring does arrive, you quickly remember that not everything is perfect this time of year. One of the biggest annoyances of spring is the increase in pest activity. The changes in the weather allow many types of pests to become active once again. Fortunately, there are things you can do to protect your home from pests this spring such as sealing up breaches, fixing leaks, and keeping food waste cleaned up. In addition, you can get your home set up with regularly scheduled pest services. This last step is the easiest and most effective of them all because you can leave spraying for pests up to the pros. 

There are some types of pests who love the spring just as much as people do. The warmer weather brings them out once again and they threaten to infest your home. The reality is that pests can be a problem any time of the year but pest activity does pickup as winter turns into spring. The official start of spring is still a few weeks away which means there is time to take steps to prevent potential spring pest infestations. Three things you can do now to prevent spring pest infestations include inspecting the exterior of your home for breaches, repairing water problems around your home, and establishing an improved cleaning routine.    

There are a number of changes that the winter weather brings. The leaves on many of the trees are gone and the landscape often looks brown rather than green. These changes are welcomed by some and dreaded by others. Many elements of nature respond to the changes in the season. There are some parts of nature, however, that do not seem to notice the cooler weather at all. For example, some pests will continue to cause you problems all winter long with no signs of stopping. If you want to protect your home from the threat of pests this winter, keep reading to learn three pest control tips to get you through.

As the weather starts to cool you will begin to see all of the changes that happen throughout nature in response to the changing seasons. The trees, grass, and other plants all react to the cooling weather by going into dormancy or dying off. Many homeowners are sad to see the changes in the landscape because bare trees and brown grass are not nearly as visually appealing as full trees and green grass. The changes that happen in nature are simply part of the cycle of things and cannot be avoided. There are, however, some changes that come with the cooler weather that homeowners welcome. One of those changes is a decrease in pest activity. Pests react to the changing weather in different ways. Some die off, others go into a hibernation-like state called diapause, while others simply hunker down for the winter. Three of the most bothersome pests that will give you a break once the weather cools include mosquitoes, ants, and stinging insects.

Ants are a common sight in the summertime. They are always on the search for food and will find a way into your house if you give them access to food. The good news is that you can prevent an ant problem in your home this summer by following a few simple tips and working with a pest control professional.

Summer pests like ants, mosquitoes, and stinging insects can cause a lot of problems for homeowners. They can make it impossible to enjoy the outdoors because you are constantly fending them off. In addition, these pests can pose a threat to your family and potentially your pets. If you want to take back your outdoor space from summer pests and protect the inside of your home from them as well then you need to look into the treatment options for dealing with them.
