Pests don’t take a break—and neither should your pest control strategy. At Jetty Termite & Pest, we understand that effective pest management requires year-round vigilance. Each season brings its own pest threats, and knowing what to expect helps you protect your home, business, and family. Here’s our expert guide to seasonal pest control, with key tips on what to watch for in spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Spring Pest Control: Emerging Infestations
Top Pest Threats: Ants, termites, spiders, wasps, earwigs
Spring Pest Control Tip: Schedule a termite inspection and seal entry points early
As temperatures rise, pests awaken from dormancy and begin invading homes in search of food, water, and shelter. Termite swarming season kicks off in spring, making this the ideal time for a professional termite inspection.
Ant infestations also spike, especially around kitchens and bathrooms.
Inspect your foundation for signs of termite tubes or damage.
Treat for ants early with targeted bait and perimeter sprays.
Clean up yard debris that harbors overwintering pests.
Summer Pest Control: Peak Activity Season
Top Pest Threats: Mosquitoes, flies, wasps, ticks, cockroaches, rodents
Summer Pest Control Tip: Eliminate standing water and maintain monthly pest control service
Warmer weather means full-blown pest pressure. Mosquitoes breed in standing water, wasps build nests in eaves, and cockroaches seek shelter in cool, damp areas. Ticks are also active, posing a threat to pets and humans alike.
Eliminate all sources of standing water on your property.
Maintain recurring pest control services to prevent infestations.
Inspect outdoor furniture, play structures, and patios for wasp nests.
Fall Pest Control: Preparing for Overwintering
Top Pest Threats: Spiders, rodents, stink bugs, boxelder bugs, silverfish
Fall Pest Control Tip: Seal all cracks and secure the attic, garage, and crawl spaces
As temperatures drop, pests start moving indoors. Rodents, in particular, pose serious health and property risks as they chew wiring and contaminate food supplies. Spiders and other fall invaders like stink bugs and silverfish seek warm shelter indoors.
Conduct a full home exclusion inspection for rodent entry points.
Trim vegetation back from the home’s exterior.
Add attic and crawl space monitoring for rodent activity.
Winter Pest Control: Hidden Invaders
Top Pest Threats: Mice, rats, cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs
Winter Pest Control Tip: Maintain indoor sanitation and monitor for hidden infestations
Winter drives pests deeper into structures. Rodents often nest in attics and garages. Cockroaches and spiders hide in dark, damp areas. Travelers can unknowingly bring bed bugs home during the holidays, making year-round pest control essential.
Continue monthly pest service to catch hidden infestations early.
Store firewood away from your home.
Use glue traps and rodent monitoring devices in garages and attics.
