As winter snows recede and temperatures rise, springtime pests start to make a more frequent appearance. Once the cold stops limiting their activity, insects multiply explosively. Combined with more time spent outdoors or with doors and windows open, these factors create pest control problems which can range from annoying to dangerous. If you notice any of these springtime pests in your home, contact Coppermines Pest Control in Murrayville, GA, to have them exterminated.

Common Springtime Pests

1. Ticks

If you or your pets spend a lot of time enjoying nature, you’re likely to have an encounter with these disturbing creatures. Not only do ticks drink blood, but they also spread serious diseases; it’s best to handle them quickly if you find them on your property.

2. Flies

More of an annoyance than a danger, flies can keep you up at night with their buzzing and will frequently land on food. If you only notice a few flies inside, you can hand the problem with a flyswatter, but a lot of flies are a reason to call a pest exterminator.

3. Wasps

Wasps build their nests in a range of inconvenient places—including on human structures. To avoid painful stings, leave the nest alone and keep children and pets away until it can be treated by a pest exterminator.

4. Mosquitoes

If one mosquito bite is annoying, then half a dozen are torture. While it’s all but impossible to completely eliminate these insects, a mosquito control expert can help you identify and address potential breeding grounds.

5. Ants

Ants are bad enough in the yard where they may bite the unwary, but in your kitchen, they’re a nightmare. While careful cleaning may be enough to address the problem, pest control may be the most effective option.
