Ants:
These tiny pest problems may start in the spring, however, they will keep marching around your home as long as they have food, water, and shelter. Odorous house ants, in particular, seem to be extremely frustrating this year, so be sure to contact a professional if you discover ants in house.
Termites:
Subterranean termites that are found around Maryland, Virginia, and DC at all times of the year. However, they are usually underground or deteriorating the foundation of your home and aren’t visible. The spring, however, is when termites with wings choose to show their faces as they attempt to expand their colony. If you discover a termite swarm, it is extremely important to contact pest professionals who can eliminate the colony.
Birds:
Many people love seeing the birds in the spring. That is until they start nesting around businesses and around a home. Try placing mesh over their common nesting spots to prevent the chances of them leaving an unsightly mess!
Clover Mites:
While these tiny red insects are even smaller than ants, they come in mass numbers and are extremely frustrating to homeowners when they get indoors. So don’t hesitate to let us know clover mites are congregating around your home.
