Spring is a beautiful season that marks the beginning of new life and growth. However, with the warmer weather and blooming flowers, come a number of pests that can wreak havoc on your home and garden. In this blog post, we will highlight some of the most common spring pests and offer tips on how to keep them away.
Ants Ants are one of the most common pests that you will encounter in the spring. They are attracted to the warmth and moisture that comes with the season and will often invade your home in search of food. To prevent ants from entering your home, make sure to clean up any food spills or crumbs immediately. You can also use a mixture of vinegar and water to clean your counters and floors, as ants are repelled by the smell of vinegar.
Termites Termites are another pest that tends to emerge in the spring. They are attracted to wood and can cause extensive damage to your home if left untreated. To prevent termites from entering your home, make sure to remove any dead or decaying wood from your property. You can also use a termite barrier around your home to prevent them from entering.
Mosquitoes Mosquitoes are perhaps one of the most annoying pests of spring and summer. They are attracted to standing water and will often lay their eggs in places such as bird baths, gutters, and flower pots. To prevent mosquitoes from breeding on your property, make sure to empty any standing water regularly. You can also use mosquito repellent on your skin or install screens on your windows to keep them out of your home.
