Springtime Awakening: Why Pest Control Is Critical Starting in May
As winter fades and the world bursts back into life, spring becomes a season of renewal — not just for plants and animals, but for pests as well. Beginning in May, as temperatures rise and days grow longer, insects and rodents become more active. For homeowners and businesses, this means one thing: it’s time to get serious about pest control.
Why Spring Is a Pest Magnet
Insects like ants, spiders, cockroaches, and mosquitoes thrive in warmer weather. Meanwhile, rodents that may have been hibernating or nesting indoors during the colder months start moving about in search of food and new shelter. Spring rains and the growth of lush vegetation also provide perfect breeding grounds for pests of all kinds. If left unchecked, these creatures can invade your home, yard, or workplace before you even notice.
Common Pests Emerging in May
Ants: Colonies explode in size as queens lay thousands of eggs.
Mosquitoes: Standing water from spring rains becomes ideal breeding sites.
Rodents: Mice and rats become increasingly active as food becomes plentiful.
Spiders and Cockroaches: Warmer nights drive them from outdoor hiding spots into homes.
Scorpions: They are out hunting in this warmer weather. We can control their food source; these pests are also waking up.
The Cost of Waiting
Delaying pest control treatment can allow a small problem to grow into a major infestation. Pests can damage property, pose health risks, and be much harder — and more expensive — to remove once they've established themselves. Early action in May can prevent months of headache later in the year.
