Common Spring Pests

Have you noticed that pests start to get worse as spring temperatures warm up? Wasps and bees begin to buzz around, winged insects crawl on your exterior walls, and you start to notice the awful ants crawling along your floorboards. Springtime is pest time nationwide. This time of the year is when many pests that were less active in the winter months begin to come out. Budget Pest Control Services has listed the most common spring pests to look out for this year.

What Pests Are Common in the Spring?

Termites
While spring is the best time of year to see termite swarmers they don’t travel far or last long. If you’re seeing them on your exterior walls, it is likely that you already have a mature infestation in your home or on your property.

Carpenter Ants
When the temperatures warm-up, you may see winged carpenter ants walking around on your exterior walls. Carpenter ant swarmers, just like those termites swarmers, are a warning sign of a current infestation. It is also a warning that the mature nest on your property is about to multiply, making it important to call your local ant control experts at Budget Pest Control Services.

Mice
If you start to hear bumping and scraping in your walls, you may think that the spring weather is responsible for allowing mice to get into your walls. But those mice could have been in your house all winter long. Mice live as close to their food source as possible. If they have a nest in your pantry wall, you wouldn’t hear them just before bedtime, bumping through your walls. But spring temperatures outside may invite those mice to find a route to go in and out of your home.

Wasps
These stinging pests are another common spring pest that probably spent the winter in your home. Wasp queens overwinter in eaves, soffits, and under our homes. In spring, they appear to find a place to create a nest. Unfortunately, this often means right inside or outside your property. Coming across a wasp nest can be dangerous, making it important to always contact a wasp control expert like Budget Pest Control Services for assistance.
