Common Springtime Pests 

Spring is a wonderful season filled with blossoming flowers, fresh grass, and new life. However, with new life comes new pests. It is not uncommon for home and business owners to experience infestations that have not been seen before. Here at Advanced Pest Control we have put together a list of common springtime critters in Bryan, TX and how you can proactively manage them before the infestation starts.

Cockroaches- roach control is essential especially if you live in close proximity to other people. Texas is home to nearly thirty different species of roaches; the most common ones are American and German cockroaches. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize they have a roach problem until it’s too late. Protect your home before they move in by sealing off the tiny entry points they can squeeze through. Common entry areas include utility pipes, crawl spaces, windows, doors, and any other cracks or crevasses that have not been properly sealed off.

Scorpions- scorpions love spring time in Texas. The warm climate rich with prey is the perfect place for them to thrive. Their sting is not deadly to most but is often very painful so it’s best to avoid them all together. One way to prevent a scorpion from inhabiting your home is to cut off its food supply of tasty grasshoppers. You can eliminate grasshoppers by spraying your lawn with insect repellants or adopting a pet chicken.

Black Rats- Rats are notorious for causing all kinds of structural damage and often carry diseases that are harmful to humans. It is best to contact professional pest removers to handle the rats safely and humanely if you notice them in your home. The best way to prevent black rats from becoming your new roommate is to make sure your kitchen is properly cleaned at all times. Seal all food in airtight containers or the fridge. Make sure all garbage is disposed of and kept away from your house.
