Show Notes
Spring brings warmer weather to Washington state, attracting pests like ants, cockroaches, fleas, and ticks. Experts predict early swarms of ants and stinging insects, with rodents and cockroaches potentially seeking indoor water sources. By summer, mosquitoes and flies may join the ranks. Homeowners are urged to take proactive steps to prevent infestations, as these pests can carry diseases and disrupt daily life. Later in the season, spiders, wasps, yellowjackets, and more rodents may appear. Sealing cracks, removing standing water, tidying the yard, storing food securely, and fixing leaks can help deter pests. Professional inspections or natural methods like barriers and beneficial insects are recommended for long-term control.
