Milwaukee, with its beautiful lakefront and vibrant city life, also has a diverse range of pests that
can make life difficult for homeowners. As the seasons change, so do the types of pests that are
most active. Understanding these seasonal patterns can help you take proactive steps to
protect your home and prevent infestations.
Spring
As the weather warms up and the snow melts, pests like ants and spiders become more active.
They may have been hibernating in your home during the winter, and now they’re looking for
food and water. You may also start to see more wildlife, such as squirrels and raccoons, as they
become more active in the spring.
Summer
Summer in Milwaukee is a time for outdoor activities, but it’s also a time when stinging insects
are most active. Bees, wasps, and hornets can be a nuisance, and their stings can be painful.
Mosquitoes are also a problem in the summer, as they can transmit diseases like West Nile
Virus.
Fall
As the weather cools down, rodents like mice and rats start to look for warm places to nest.
They may try to enter your home through cracks and holes in the foundation or walls. Fall is also
the time when boxelder bugs and cluster flies start to gather on the sunny sides of homes.
Winter
While you may think that pests are less active in the winter, this is not always the case. Bed
bugs, for example, can be a problem year-round. They are often brought into homes on luggage
or clothing, and they can quickly infest a bed or mattress.
Tips for Prevention
There are a number of things you can do to prevent pests from invading your home, no matter
what the season. Here are a few tips:
● Seal up cracks and holes in your home’s foundation and walls. This will help to prevent
rodents and other pests from getting inside.
● Keep your home clean and clutter-free. Pests are attracted to food and water, so it’s
important to keep your home clean and free of clutter.
● Store food properly. Store food in airtight containers to prevent pests from getting into it.
● Maintain your yard. Keep your grass cut short and trim back bushes and trees. This will help
to reduce the number of places where pests can hide.
