Seasonal Insect Problems

 ​Seasonal Insect Problems You Should Expect

If you don’t want your home to be destroyed by insects, you need to know what time of the year to expect them and what to do about it when the insects arrive. Here are some of the seasonal insect problems you might go through and how to deal with them. Rid X offers pest control in Tyler Tx.

1.    Winter – December To February 
Since most insects retreat to their structures during the cold weather, you might only have issues with rodents such as rats or mice during this time. Keep in mind that the inside of your home has a temperature of at least 70 degrees and as such might attract various pests. Therefore pests such as roaches, silverfish or crickets that usually live outside might start moving indoors. You need to inspect your home thoroughly and use pesticides whenever necessary or glue boards to keep the pests out of your home during winter.

2.    Spring – March To May 
Since the spring season allows flowers to bloom, you’re likely to experience a lot of insect infestation in your home. During this time, insects emerge from hibernation or hatch. The common insects during this season include wasps and bees because of the blooming flowers. Unless they actually get inside your home, you should avoid disturbing the bee or wasp nests because they are good for your garden.

​3.    Summer – June To August 
 The temperature in the summer season is very hot and may force pests to relocate to the inside of your home. You will most likely come across a lot of ants forming lines indoors trying to escape the hot weather outside. To prevent the infestation, you should apply insect repellant to all the entry points. Also, you should consider using granular baits around your home to reduce insect reproduction considerably.

4.    Fall – September To November 
During the fall season, various insects complete their life cycle. Therefore, you should expect different insects in your home such as lady birds, beetles, centipedes, millipedes, scorpions and much more. During this period, make sure that all the openings in your home are properly screened. All the cracks should be filled properly and place rodent traps around the house to prevent any insect infestations. Make sure that all food waste is properly thrown out and covered in the trash receptacles to prevent further infestation.

In conclusion, if you have all the seasonal tips to handle insect infestations ready in hand, your home should be safe and sound all year round.
