Spring is a time of new life and growth, but there are also more pests. These pests can be very annoying and do a lot of damage to our homes and gardens. By preparing for spring pests, you can make it less likely that pests will take over your home and let you enjoy the season without the stress and frustration of dealing with pests.
Which Pests Are The Most Common In The Spring?

How to get ready for bugs in the spring?
When getting ready for spring pests, it is crucial to plan. Here are some tips to get prepared for the Spring pests:
Find Potential Troublespots
Look for places where pests might like to hang out. Mosquitoes can be drawn to standing water, and rodents can be drawn to cluttered areas.
Inspect Your Home For Cracks & Holes
Check your home for cracks, holes, and other openings that pests can use to get inside. Use caulk or weather stripping to fill any gaps.
Keep Your Home Clean
Pests love places with food, water, and shelter. Keeping your home clean and clutter-free can help stop infestations. Put food in containers that won’t let air in, and take the trash out often.
Maintain Your Yard
An untidy yard is a good place for pests to grow. Keep your grass trimmed and get rid of any trash or standing water. Cut back any plants that have grown too big.
Use Natural Pest Control Methods
Think about using natural ways to get rid of pests. For example, planting plants that keep pests away or using essential oils can work to keep pests away. Find natural ways to eliminate pests and choose the best ones for your home and garden.
