Summer is here!

Why Summer Is the Best Time to Schedule Pest Control
As temperatures rise and summer kicks into full gear, pests become more active—and more invasive. Ants trail through kitchens, mosquitoes swarm backyards, and wasps, spiders, roaches, and rodents look for food, water, and shelter. That’s why summer is prime time for pest control.

At Hometown Pest Control, we know how important it is to protect your home and family during the busiest pest season of the year. Here’s why now is the right time to act—and what you can do to stay ahead of the pests.

🐜 Why Pests Are Worse in Summer
During the warmer months, many insects and rodents emerge from hiding or hibernation to breed and forage. Your yard, home, and even your pet’s food bowl become targets. Common summer pests include:

• Ants – Seeking food and moisture, often in kitchens and bathrooms
• Mosquitoes – Breeding in standing water and attacking at dawn and dusk
• Wasps and Hornets – Building nests in eaves, sheds, and trees
• Roaches – Attracted to heat, food crumbs, and damp areas
• Spiders – Following other insects inside your home
• Mice and Rats – Finding cool, shaded areas in garages and basements

🛡️ Benefits of Summer Pest Control

1. Prevent Infestations Before They Grow
Early summer treatments stop small problems from turning into full-blown infestations.
2. Protect Your Family's Health
Mosquitoes, ticks, and rodents can spread diseases like West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, and Salmonella. Proper pest control helps protect your loved ones.
3. Keep Your Yard Enjoyable
Enjoy cookouts, gardening, and outdoor fun without swatting at bugs or dodging wasps.
4. Long-Lasting Protection
Professional treatments in the summer provide a barrier that keeps pests away into the fall.

🏠 What You Can Do

• Seal entry points – Check screens, door seals, and cracks in your foundation
• Remove standing water – Mosquitoes only need a capful to breed
• Clean up crumbs and spills – Especially in the kitchen and pet areas
• Schedule a professional inspection – Catch hidden problems before they get worse
