Seasonal Pest Guide: What to Expect Year-Round
Pests don’t take a vacation. Every season of the year brings its own unique challenges for homeowners and businesses. At Crittella Pest Services, we believe the best defense is knowing what to expect and preparing ahead of time. Here’s a simple breakdown of the most common pests by season.
🕷️ Spring: Ants, Spiders & Termites
When the weather warms up, pests wake up.
Ants invade kitchens and pantries searching for food.
Spiders follow insects indoors.
Termites often swarm during spring as they look for new nesting sites.
Tip: Schedule an inspection to stop infestations before they grow.
☀️ Summer: Mosquitoes, Wasps & Fleas
Hot weather means pests are most active.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water and can carry diseases.
Wasps & hornets become aggressive around food and outdoor spaces.
Fleas & ticks spread quickly, especially if you have pets.
Tip: Keep outdoor areas clean and remove standing water.
🍂 Fall: Rodents & Spiders
As temperatures drop, pests start looking for shelter indoors.
Rodents sneak inside through even the tiniest cracks.
Spiders become more noticeable as they hunt for food.
Tip: Seal entry points and store food in airtight containers.
❄️ Winter: Rodents & Cockroaches
Cold weather doesn’t stop pests—it just drives them inside.
Rodents nest in walls, basements, and attics.
Cockroaches thrive in warm, damp areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Tip: Reduce indoor moisture and eliminate clutter where pests hide.
