Pest Control by Season

We understand that different pests are active during various seasons, and we tailor our services accordingly. Here's a brief overview of our seasonal services:

• Spring: Focus on preventive treatment for ants, spiders, and other warm weather pests. Termite swarms occur in spring, so treatment is necessary to prevent further wood damage. Outside treatments prevent certain pests from moving indoors after cold weather.
• Summer: Bees are active and may need treated. Fleas quickly take over pets and homes and may need treated. This is a very active season for pests and wildlife.
• Fall: Bees and fleas are still active into the cooler months. Preventive sprays for lady bugs, cluster flies, and wasps should be applied in the fall for maximum effectiveness. Rodents begin to move into structures as temperatures drop.
• Winter: Colder months involve a slowing of pest movement, however maintenance can prevent spring and summer infestation. Rodent activity increases as they look for food and shelter in structures.
