The interesting thing about pests is that they are a problem all year round. They do not disappear in the winter and stay outside in the summer. There are pests that are trying to invade your home all year round and it is your job to be sure that you stay on top of it. You want to make sure that you never let your guard down and that you continue to have your house treated by a professional through the year. The reason that people think pests are not an issue year round is because they change. The pests that you see more abundantly in the summer and not the same that you might see in the winter. The types of pests change depending on the weather and the temperatures that are outside. You want to make sure you know what to be on the lookout for during different times of the year. One of the most active times for pests happens to be in the spring when it seems all the world is waking up. A-Tex Pest Management outlines what pests are common in the spring weather.
Why Do I Get Ants in My House in the Spring?
One of the pests that start to make a comeback in the spring weather are ants. They have likely been staying underground and off the cold ground above. When the ground starts to warm up they will come out and start to do what they can to locate food. This means that they are going to start to pile up in your yard. When they get close to your home they can start to get in the house. They can get in the house to look for items that they can take with them back to the colony. The ants love to find a source of food and line up to deplete it if possible. This means that they can become a nuisance in your home and that is why you need to be prepared.
Are Bees & Wasps More Aggressive in Spring?
Another pest that you will start to see around the spring months happens to be flying around your plants and home. Wasps and bees also come out in the warmer weather and will stick around through the summer as well. You want to make sure that you are ready for them to be out. The great thing is that bees are necessary and should be left alone if possible. Also, wasps during spring are only aggressive when someone threatens or disturbs their nest That does not mean that you wont need to remove them at some point. You want to use a professional to come and deal with a wasp or a bee nest.
Why are there Spiders in my House in the Spring?
Although spiders are considered a year-round pest, they become more visible and active in the spring. Now that the food is out for bees and even ants the pest that eats other pests are coming out too. Spiders will start to show up in the spring to start to feed on the pests that are often invading your home and your property. The spiders can be hiding around your house and can be building their webs under your patio and furniture.
