Pest Prevention Through the Seasons

Why This Matters

Pest prevention is easier than elimination. Different insects and rodents are active in different seasons.

What You Should Do

Spring: Seal entry points, remove standing water, treat for ants and termites.

Summer: Control wasps, keep food sealed, trim vegetation.

Fall: Rodents seek warmth — seal gaps, store firewood away, check attic.

Winter: Monitor for indoor pest activity, check for rodent droppings.

Year-round: Keep kitchen clean, store food in sealed containers, maintain clean gutters.

When to Call a Professional

If you see signs of termites, rodent infestation, or extensive insect activity, call a pest control professional. Annual termite inspections ($75-150) are essential in termite-prone regions.
