From the coldest parts of the winter to the hottest days of the summer, no matter what's going on outside, you're likely to have pests making their way inside. The pests you see may change depending on the season, but you're still going to see them. That means a pest control service is going to have to change its focus depending on what time of the year it is. Here's how they adapt their services to the seasons.

Spring

Ah, spring. The sun is out for longer during the day and its rays begin warming the earth and everything in it. This is the time of year when ants, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, termites, and stinging insects start to come out from their winter hiding spots. If you notice that you are being inundated with any of these common pests, then you should contact a pest control service. This is the perfect time for barrier pest control services that keep pests from entering your home.

Summer

This is when the temperatures will start kicking into high gear. The humidity will also increase a considerable amount. Some pests will be more prevalent. For example, according to the National Pest Management Association, 50% of pest control services notice more bed bug infestations during this time of year. You also need to be on the lookout for ticks, fleas, and bats. Each of them has the potential to carry diseases, so you should call a pest control service to have them treat your property if you see any signs of these summer pests.

Fall

Massive amounts of fallen leaves are far from the only annoyance that you have to deal with. You might experience swarms of stinkbugs and ladybugs. Even worse, rodents and cockroaches might start to make their way into your home when the temperatures start to drop at night. Professionals at a local pest control service can treat existing pest infestations in your home and help you keep pests out as they look for places to spend the approaching winter.

Winter

During the winter, many types of insects hibernate. However, rodents are always looking for warm places to make new nests. If you hear scurrying sounds in your walls, floors, or ceilings during the winter, be sure to call a pest control service. They can treat rodent infestations with traps, bait stations, and other services. With professional support, you won't have to share your home with these unwanted guests.

Seasoned pest control specialists know how to adapt their services to the most prevalent pests at any time of year. With professional support, you can enjoy a pest-free home. If pests are impacting your comfort at home, contact Insect Control Specialists Inc today to see how we can help.
