Spring Pests in Castle Rock 🌱🐜

As the weather warms, pests that went dormant in winter come back in full force.

• Ants invade kitchens in search of food.

• Spiders become active again, especially in basements and garages.

• Wasps begin building nests around eaves and sheds.

👉 Prevention Tip: Seal cracks, wipe down surfaces daily, and schedule a spring inspection to stop colonies before they grow.

Summer Pests ☀️🦟

Warm weather brings more outdoor activity—and more pests.

• Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, making backyards uncomfortable.

• Flies become a nuisance around trash bins and kitchens.

• Cockroaches thrive in warm, damp environments.

👉 Prevention Tip: Remove standing water, keep trash sealed, and maintain outdoor areas to prevent breeding grounds.

For details on general services, see the Pest Control page.

Fall Pests 🍂🐭

As temperatures drop, pests begin searching for shelter indoors.

• Rodents (mice and rats) invade attics, garages, and basements.

• Boxelder bugs cluster around sunny sides of homes.

• Spiders increase activity as they hunt for insects.

👉 Prevention Tip: Seal gaps with steel wool and caulk, install door sweeps, and keep firewood stacked at least 20 feet away.

Winter Pests ❄️🕷️

While many insects slow down, indoor pests remain active.

• Mice and rats nest in insulation and chew electrical wires.

• Spiders stay in basements, attics, and storage areas.

• Cockroaches persist in warm, damp spots like kitchens and bathrooms.

👉 Prevention Tip: Keep storage areas decluttered, store food in airtight containers, and schedule a winter inspection for peace of mind.

The CDC warns that rodents in enclosed spaces during winter months increase household health risks (cdc.gov).
