A Warm Breeze and Buzzing Bees
After a long winter, most of us are thrilled about the upcoming warm weather! We are just around the corner from more daylight and the excitement of getting to put our winter coats away and breaking out our summer gear. We get so excited about these things that we often forget what else comes along with the onset of summer: an onslaught of pests.
Keep up the summertime hosting and leave pests off of the invite list! Before the warm weather comes out in full force, it's important to get your pest control done. Spring is the perfect time to look into scheduling a pest inspection and treatment for your home in order to prevent those summer infestations!
Springing Into Action with Pest Prep
As flowers start blooming and the birds resume chirping, you're sure to notice an uptick in the amount of bugs flying around. Most pests are cold-blooded, leading them to hibernate through the winter. But once those temperatures start to rise, they get their energy back and take off into the world once again!
Pests are looking for the pest trinity: food, shelter, and water. After a long season of being cold and hungry, they come back stronger and more determined than ever.
So, what makes spring so ideal for treating pests? Winter pest control treatments are great at preventing problems in the spring, but because some bugs lie hidden in your home throughout the winter, they're a little tougher to reach. Once they emerge, our spring treatment is ready to stop them in their tracks.
Pest control in the spring means not only targeting the matured bugs, but also the young ones. This can prevent more eggs from being laid and keep you from being surprised by an infestation.
Set the Game Plan
Working with a pest control company before you see signs of infestation can spare you and your home the hassle that comes with an influx of bugs. Pest control is most effective when used preventatively, so partnering with Greenix Pest Control in the spring is a great way to get ahead.
Greenix covers over 50 types of pests, so you don't have to worry about any slipping through the cracks, pun intended. When you work with a professional pest control company, you ensure that nothing gets left unnoticed!
