Pests, when to except them!

Just like the leaves turning colours and falling off the trees in fall, pests also have a preferred time they like to infest our homes. It doesn’t matter the time of year; there is always one kind of pest eager to invade your personal space. Fortunately, they are creatures of habit and we know when they are getting ready to assault your property. In the fall the weather gets colder, a couple of pests will try to get indoors for heat, shelter and food. Common fall pests include spiders, stink bugs, flies, fleas and bed bugs. Also depending on the weather, rodents and wasps can be active during the first couple months of fall. Then when winter comes the pests that are seeking warmth and food include mice, rats and squirrels. Also we find that all the travelling during the holiday season can help the spread of bed bugs, fleas and cockroaches. When spring cracks through the ice, there are a handful of pests which like to become an annoyance around your home. These include ants, flies, stinging insects, moths, cockroaches, domestic birds and of course the return of skunks, squirrels and raccoons. If spring remains cold, rats and mice might still be an issue. Finally, summer brings the longer warm days and another handful of pests that also enjoy the summer months. Common summer pests include mosquitoes, stinging insects, ants, flies and moths. Also with the increase in summer vacations and travel the spread of bed bugs continue.
