Spring is on the way: What Philly homeowners need to know about insects

As the chilly grip of winter begins to to loosen, Philadelphia is gearing upfor the vibrantand refreshing seasonof spring. At Square One Pest Solutions, we know that while spring brings blooming flowers, warmer weather, and longer days, it alsosignals the return of insects. For homeowners in the

Philadelphia area, this means it's time to start thinking about pest control.

Why Spring Brings Out Bugs:

Spring is a season of renewal, and that includes the insect world. As temperature rises and plants begin

to grow, insects emerge from the winter hiding spots in search of food, water, and breeding

opportunities. Here are a few reasons why spring is prime time for pest:

1. Warmer Temperatures: nnsects are cold-blooded, meaning their activity levels are directly

2. tied to temperature. As the weather warms up, they become more active and start reproducing.

3. Increased Moisture: Spring rains create the perfect enviroment for pests like mosquitoes, ants, and termites, which thrive in damp conditions.

4. Food Sources: With plants blooming and gardenscoming to life, there's plentyof food for insects to feast on.

Common Spring Pests In Philadelphia

Philadelphia's unique climate and urban environment make it a hotspot for certain pests during the

spring. Here are a few you should keep an eye out for:

• Ants: As the ground thaws, ants become more active and often invade homes in search of food.

• Mosquitoes: Standing water from spring rain creates ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

• Spiders: As other insects become more active, so do spiders, which prey on them.

• Stinging Insects: Wasps and bees start building nests in the spring, often in inconvenient (or dangerous) locations.
