Welcome to the Loyalty Termite & Pest Control Podcast! I’m your host, Ceyron Cran, and today we’re getting ahead of the game. Pest season isn’t just one time of year—every season brings its own challenges. Whether you own a home or a business in Pennsylvania or Delaware, knowing what to expect in spring, summer, fall, and winter can make all the difference in keeping pests out for good. Stay with me as I break down seasonal pest threats, how to prevent them, and what makes Loyalty different from the rest.
Spring: The Season of Awakening (and Infestations!)
As temperatures rise, termites, ants, and mosquitoes start becoming active. Spring is also a prime season for rodents looking for food after winter. This is the best time to set up proactive pest control strategies.
✅ Schedule a 58-Point Inspection (more on that later!).
✅ Seal cracks around doors, windows, and foundations to block entry points.
✅ Check for termite swarmers—small, winged insects around your home that indicate an infestation.
✅ Eliminate standing water to stop mosquito breeding before summer hits.
This is when mosquitoes, ticks, wasps, and ants are at their worst. Stinging insects build nests near homes, and rodents look for cool hiding spots indoors. Summer is also the time when bed bugs spread, especially in hotels and vacation rentals.
✅ Trim back trees and bushes—pests love to use overgrown plants as bridges into your home.
✅ Keep food covered and dispose of trash regularly to avoid attracting ants and flies.
✅ Use professional-grade mosquito treatments—DIY sprays won’t cut it.
✅ Be cautious when traveling—inspect luggage and clothing for bed bugs.
Fall: The Invasion Begins
As the weather cools, pests start looking for shelter. Rodents, stink bugs, boxelder bugs, and spiders start moving indoors. Termites are still active, and this is when cluster flies become a major issue.
✅ Seal all gaps and entry points, especially around utility pipes.
✅ Store firewood away from your home—it attracts rodents and termites.
✅ Apply exterior treatments to prevent stink bugs and cluster flies from sneaking inside.
✅ Inspect attics and basements—rodents love to hide in warm, undisturbed areas.
Winter: The Silent Threat
Many people think pest problems disappear in winter, but mice, rats, and cockroaches thrive indoors when it’s cold outside. Termites remain active in heated structures, and if you had stink bugs in the fall, you’ll start seeing them again on warmer winter days.
✅ Store food in sealed containers—rodents can chew through plastic bags and cardboard boxes.
✅ Check for rodent droppings under sinks, in garages, and behind appliances.
✅ Schedule a winter pest inspection—just because you don’t see pests doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
✅ Use steel wool to block small holes—remember, mice can fit through an opening the size of a dime!
What Sets Loyalty Apart? The 58-Point Inspection
At Loyalty Termite and Pest Control, we believe in preventing problems before they start. Our free 58-Point Inspection is a top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top examination of your home or business. Unlike companies that just spray and leave, we identify every potential pest risk, from moisture buildup to unseen entry points, and create a customized prevention plan for year-round protection.
Expert Tip: Timing is Everything
Here’s something most people don’t know: The best time to schedule pest control isn’t when you see pests—it’s before they become a problem. Many infestations start months before they’re noticeable, especially termites and rodents. That’s why we recommend seasonal inspections and treatments to stop pests before they do costly damage.
