The onset of spring means fresh air, flowers in bloom, and warm weather ahead. It also means high pest activity as the warmer temperatures awaken new life and bring pests out of hibernation. Although different pests are a problem throughout the varying seasons, spring is considered peak pest time as eggs that were laid over winter begin to hatch, as well as an increase in mating habits for many pests.
No matter the time of year or the season at hand, Truly Nolens Four Season approach is designed to adapt to the changing needs of pest control. Treatment methods are designed to specifically target current pest activity taking into consideration that pest behavior changes throughout the year.
Termites are one of the more invasive pests during the spring season as they are busy during this time establishing new colonies. Swarmers, the reproductive termites, will leave their nests in spring to begin to mate. Since they are winged, they can easily be identified. Spotting these insects in your vicinity could be a sign that there is a brewing infestation.
Spring time is the optimal mating time for both rats and mice. If they havent already taken up residence in your home during the winter months, their activity will increase both indoors and outdoors as the warmer months approach.
As the weather warms, you may begin to see a proliferation of ants in and around your home. During the winter months, ants have kept a fairly low profile but emerge during the spring as they begin their search for food. Since they feast on sugary foods, ants will be more prone to entering your home in search of food and water.
By overwintering in the egg stage (laying eggs in such a way as to keep warm during the winter months) mosquito activity tends to be high as spring approaches. The eggs will hatch during the spring and mature to a full grown adult in a short space of time. Spring rains also make ideal breeding conditions, so that reproduction takes place during the time, lending way for more mosquito presence as spring transitions into the summer months.
Unfortunately, many homeowners may also see an increase in spider activity as a result of the presence of other insects. With variety of soft-bodied insects becoming active during the spring months looming spiders have access to an abundant food supply.
Warmer temperatures present the ideal conditions for stinging insects to begin mating, as well as to establish nests around your home. Yellow jackets, wasps and bees come out of hibernation making it a precarious time to be outdoors, especially when more aggressive insects are active, like wasps.
With the arrival of spring also bringing an increase in pest activity, Truly Nolens service experts kick things into high gear with more aggressive and proactive treatment methods. The change in season means that treatment approaches must be altered and tailored specifically to the change in pest behavior. Pests thrive in the warm weather and are eager to reproduce, feed and infest!
