Living in the Wisconsin area it's no secret that we have our fair share of pest-related problems. The summer months bring bats, bees and disease carrying mosquitos, while the winter months bring uninvited rodents and wildlife into our homes just in time for the holidays.
Learning the key signs of common summer pests around the home can help you prevent pests from making your house their vacation home. Do a “walk about” around your home’s exterior perimeter, paying special note to the foundation but don’t forget to look up around the roof fascia and soffit, where gaps may allow pest entry. There are some simple steps that you can take on the exterior of the structure that will help to reduce the likelihood of pests invading. Removing and raking old leaves that have collected against the foundation of your home, under the deck, and inside the window wells will eliminate potential hiding and feeding places for many occasional invaders like millipedes, ants, sowbugs and beetles.
Some say the state bird of Wisconsin should be the mosquito. These pests come out in huge numbers, especially during the summer months. Their bites are irritating and also dangerous! Mosquitoes can transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Mosquitoes are much more prevalent when there is plentiful rain, but their eggs are hardy enough to withstand an extended length of time without. Once rain comes, eggs hatch and their fast life cycle is underway. Some species only require a tiny amount of water for development. You can help reduce mosquitoes around your home by preventing standing water from accumulating in your yard or in any artificial container. Unfortunately, you can’t control what your neighbors leave lying around so give us a call if you are being bitten or otherwise noticing mosquitoes around your home.
