Keeping the Most Beautiful Time of Year Pest-Free

While each season of the year is beautiful in its own right, spring is favored by most people. The world experiences a renewal with the blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. Birds singing and bright sunshine facilitate a sense of rebirth that makes the world seem right.

Therefore, it’s time for spring cleaning – both indoors and outside in the yard – to set the scene for lots of outdoor living.  

But wait! You’re not the only ones enjoying the return of warm, sunny days. During spring, many pests abound that can take all the pleasure out of springtime happiness.

Pests Love Spring Too!

Ants, spiders, bedbugs, and termites are among the common pests that greatly multiply in spring.

Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare. They cause severe damage to homes, compromising their stability and safety as well as their financial value. Spring is a good time to do a termite inspection whether or not you can visibly see signs such as swarming or tunnels. Your best defense is employing termite control early, while the colony is contained, and damage is minimal.

Ants come in lots of varieties, and they can march right in through the smallest cracks in your home. They also leave an invisible scent trail that signals to other ants that they’ve found a food source. Most do-it-yourself solutions only kill the ants you can see running across your countertops. A professional who knows how to kill ants will be able to stop these pests in their nests.

No one likes to think or talk about bed bugs. There is such a negative stigma to them. Regardless, bed bugs strike anywhere, hitchhiking to your home in luggage, your purse, and even on your clothes. Once within your home, calling a professional for bed bug removal is the only effective way to eradicate them.

Spiders are a common household problem. Mostly hiding in corners, on the underside of furniture, or in uninhabited places of your home like your attic or garage, they can create such an infestation should they reproduce. Spiders will lay up to about 1000 eggs, depending on the species. Hatched indoors, these spiderlings will likely remain in your home for their lifetime if not removed.
