Different pests show up in different seasons. A little prevention at the right time of year keeps small problems from becoming infestations.

Spring

As it warms, ants, termites, and stinging insects become active. Seal cracks, clear standing water, trim vegetation away from the house, and watch for early termite swarms.

Summer

Peak activity for ants, mosquitoes, wasps, and flies. Keep food sealed, empty standing water, repair screens, and address wasp nests early before they grow.

Fall

Rodents and spiders seek warmth indoors. Seal gaps around pipes and foundations, store firewood away from the house, and declutter garages and basements where pests hide.

Winter

Pests that got in earlier nest in walls and attics. Inspect for droppings and gnaw marks, keep the home dry, and address any activity before spring breeding begins.

Year-round basics

  • Seal entry points around doors, windows, pipes, and the foundation.
  • Eliminate moisture — fix leaks and improve drainage.
  • Keep food sealed and surfaces clean.
  • Schedule periodic professional inspections to catch problems early.

A local pest professional can set up a seasonal plan tailored to your home and the pests common in your area.

Superb Pest Control service!! I noticed a carpenter ant problem and requested an additional visit to assess the problem. I received an appointment within 2 days! Alder sent confirmation of the appointment window, notification 24 hrs prior, and a textfrom the technician when she was on his way. The technician, Emily, was very detailed, professional, and courteous. She assessed and treated the area, If all Alder's technicians are like Emily, Alder will do great.
