Different seasons bring different pest challenges for homeowners. Understanding the seasonal patterns of common household pests allows you to implement preventative measures before infestations occur. This proactive approach is more effective and less costly than dealing with established pest problems after they've taken hold in your home.

At GStart Pest Solutions, we've developed a comprehensive year-round pest prevention calendar based on our decades of experience. This guide will help you anticipate and prepare for the most common seasonal pest issues, ensuring your home remains protected throughout the year.

The key to effective pest management is understanding that it's a year-round commitment. Each season presents unique challenges and opportunities for prevention. By staying one step ahead of seasonal pest patterns, you can protect your home from unwanted invaders before they become a problem.

Climate change is altering traditional pest seasons in many regions, with milder winters allowing some pest populations to remain active year-round. This shift makes regular monitoring and adaptive prevention strategies more important than ever. Our seasonal guide accounts for these changing patterns to provide you with the most current and effective pest prevention advice.

Your Seasonal Pest Prevention Guide

Here's what to watch for and how to prepare during each season:

  • Spring (March-May): Watch for termite swarmers, carpenter ants, and mosquitoes. Clean gutters, repair winter damage, and remove standing water to prevent breeding grounds.
  • Summer (June-August): Be vigilant about ants, flies, mosquitoes, and wasps. Keep food covered during outdoor gatherings, maintain your yard, and seal entry points around air conditioning units.
  • Fall (September-November): Prepare for rodents, spiders, and cockroaches seeking shelter from cooling temperatures. Seal cracks and gaps, clean up leaf piles, and store firewood away from your home.
  • Winter (December-February): Monitor for mice, rats, and overwintering insects. Inspect holiday decorations before bringing them inside, seal utility penetrations, and maintain proper humidity levels to discourage pests.
