Introduction: Why Pest Control Isn’t a One-Time Fix
Many homeowners only call pest control when they spot bugs. But the Midwest’s changing seasons bring constant pest pressure. A seasonal approach prevents surprises year-round.
Let’s break down the key tips for each season:
1. Spring: Stop Ants and Earwigs Before They Invade
Spring moisture wakes up soil pests like ants and earwigs. Inspect your foundation, seal entry points, and clean up leaf litter early. Pointe uses exterior treatments to block ant trails before they get inside.
2. Summer: Beat Mosquitoes and Wasps
Warm weather means more outdoor fun—and more stinging insects. Remove standing water, keep gutters clean, and schedule a backyard barrier spray to keep mosquitoes away.
Wasps often build nests under eaves—our team can safely remove them.
3. Fall: Seal Up Before the Rodents Move In
Rodents seek shelter as temperatures drop. Seal gaps, install door sweeps, and set traps proactively. Pointe can rodent-proof your attic and garage for the season.
4. Winter: Watch for Spiders and Indoor Invaders
When it’s cold, spiders, silverfish, and even roaches come inside. Keep your home clutter-free and inspect dark corners. Our winter treatments target basements, attics, and wall voids.
5. Year-Round Tip: Maintain a Pest Barrier
Even when pests seem gone, they’re often lurking nearby. A consistent, seasonal service plan maintains an invisible shield around your home and yard.
6. Bonus Tip: Schedule Regular Inspections
Pointe offers free inspections that catch pest problems early—saving you money and stress down the road.
