1. Ants

Ants come out in full force in the summer months after being in hibernation all winter. They go on the hunt for food in the summer so they can feed their growing colonies and build up their stores for the cold fall and winter months. They make their way into your home in search of food and water.

Ants can be prevented by keeping your home and especially your kitchen clean; keeping food and water bowls inside and not out overnight; keeping trees and bushes trimmed back from your home; and sealing cracks and holes in the outside of your home.

2. Mosquitoes

The best thing you can do to prevent mosquitoes from flying around your home is to eliminate all stagnant water areas that attract them. Mosquito eggs can only develop in pools of water that are not moving. If you still can’t control more persistent mosquito infestations and activity, you can try to use mosquito traps. It can work but will typically just decrease the activity in the area and not fully eradicate them. Our Pest Control technicians can assist you in providing knowledge on what products work, and what products don’t.

3. Fleas

As temperatures heat up, fleas come out to play by attaching themselves to a food source – usually your pets. Because flea allergies are common, the bites can be itchy and painful, and they transmit diseases, it’s important if you have pets, to keep your pets current on preventative flea medication. Give them baths regularly, keep pet beds clean, and vacuum often. If your pet gets infested with fleas, we recommend contacting a pest control professional. Fleas reproduce quickly and can be hard to get rid of.

4. Flies

Keeping flies out can be hard to do in the summer. They’re looking for food. Prevent flies from spreading bacteria throughout your home by keeping windows and doors closed, taking the trash out often and moving garbage cans away from the exterior of your home. Don’t leave food out and clean up dishes and spills immediately.

5. Roaches

Roaches thrive in warm, humid temperatures. And because they eat almost anything, they can be hard to get rid of once inside your home. They’re most often seen in kitchens and bathrooms. Because they spread bacteria and often cause severe allergic reactions, it’s a good idea to contact an exterminator if you’re seeing roaches. Where there’s one roach, there’s probably a few hundred more hiding somewhere close. They reproduce quickly and are one of the most difficult pests to get rid of once your home is infested. To prevent roaches, keep a clean house, don’t bring in boxes or newspapers, and seal any cracks, holes or crevices.
