Seasonal Pest Control Services

Common Seasonal Pests in Suffolk County & Nassau County

Some pests are year-round, but more often than not, pest populations fluctuate throughout the year. The key to seasonal pest control in Suffolk County & Nassau County is anticipating what comes next.

Spring Pests

Spring pest treatments are a reliable way to reduce infestations later in the year. That’s because spring is the time when pests become more active and start reproducing. But when you get seasonal pest services from Suburban Exterminating, the life cycle is interrupted.

• Ants: Ants can be a year-round presence, but spring is the time they’re most likely to come into your home and form a new colony.
• Bats: Bats often seek shelter in warm, comfortable attics. Handling them can be dangerous, and they are a protected species, so make sure you call a bat control professional to handle the situation.
• Birds: Birds build nests in springtime. Their nests can easily clog gutters and cause water damage. 
• Boxelder Bugs: These pests gravitate towards warm, sunny areas of your home.

Summer Pests

Summer is the best season for most pests. Its warmth and humidity are ideal for food production and reproduction.

• Bees, Wasps, and Hornets: Nobody likes the threat of getting stung.
• Cockroaches: Warmer temperatures mean more cockroaches. With females laying hundreds of eggs, this can swiftly lead to an infestation if unchecked.
• Fleas, Ticks, and Mites: These pests can transmit diseases and make life miserable for furry family members.
• Flies: Warm weather and long days bring flies out of hiding to pester you and your loved ones.
• Mosquitoes: Synonymous with summer, mosquitoes thrive in warm, humid weather.
• Termites: Known for their destructive nature, termites are especially active in spring and summer.

Fall Pests

After breeding peaks in the late summer, many pest populations linger into the fall. And with its cooler air and falling leaves, many will seek refuge from the cold indoors.

• Rodents: As autumn sets in, mice and rats look for warm indoor shelter. Their presence is hazardous for a variety of reasons.
• Spiders: As other pests die out, spiders start becoming more noticeable.
• Stink bugs: These stinkers come inside looking to get out of the chilly weather. They are often found near windows or doors.

Winter Pests

Many pests die off or go dormant when the weather gets cold. That’s why we focus our winter seasonal pest services on treating the interior of your home. Wherever they’re lurking, our trained seasonal pest exterminators will find and eliminate them.
