April Showers Bring…More Pests?

The wet, rainy spring showers that we’re experiencing this spring may be a blessing for your garden, but they can also inspire pests to seek a dry haven in your home. Rodents, beetles, hornets and bees, spiders, rickets, cockroaches and ants are all common outdoor vermin that will move in and get comfortable when the weather turns wet. Additionally, the increase in moisture outside provides insects with flourishing food sources and the water they need to reproduce or expand their colonies.
As the weather changes it’s a good idea to review your pest control procedures and preventions to make sure you are ready to meet the challenges of the coming season. Make sure you have done a complete examination of the perimeter of your house and checked for entry points including grates, windows and other spots where wear and tear may have made it easy for curious critters to get inside your walls, floors and attic. Look for anything that looks out of place such as scratch marks, droppings, or prints in the dirt.
You’ll also want to talk to a professional pest control service about setting traps or baits if you have a history of infestations. Pest control professionals can sit down with you and give you a complete picture of what to look out for and which specific pests are in your area. They can help you get rid of existing pests, and set up a system for pest prevention which changes with the seasons.
Prevention is always the best way to solve a pest problem. Home owners can rely on companies like Accuracy Plus California to keep their property pest-free despite the changes throughout the year.
