Several of the basic needs that attract pests are essential to the human occupants as well. In colder weather, for example, pests may intrude the premises in search of warm shelter, and vice versa. During a San Antonio regional drought, pests may enter your home in search of moisture. Rest assured that a residential pest control plan from Aptive Environmental includes multiple treatments to protect your home throughout the year.

For composting pest control, keep animal products out of your compost bin. Meat is one of the most enticing snares for rodents and pests. Homeowners should also avoid composting any bones, dairy products, oils, and fatty foods. To deter pests from finding your compost bin, cover any exposed food with a layer of dry leaves and soil. This helps to suppress the smell of food and other organic materials that may entice rodents and pests. Another way for composters to control pests is to surround the collections with bricks, rocks, wire, and other obstacles to deter rodents.

Insects such as pill bugs and slugs help to aerate and add natural fertilizer to your compost pile. However, even these helpful pests can wander over to your fruit or vegetable garden. Other pests such as wasps, hornets, fruit flies, earwigs, and spiders are an immediate cause for pest control services. Contact Aptive Environmental to discuss an pest control plan that’s right for your family and for the fruits of your labor.

During the Spring, you’ll begin to see cockroaches and ants emerging from winter hiding and moving around homes and yards. Fire ant nests might appear in yards, on sidewalks and around buildings. Cockroaches will look for open food containers and garbage to eat inside and outside.

The hot summer months allow pests to take over untreated yards and gardens. In San Antonio, summer is scorpion season, when these pests are most actively hunting for bugs in yards and shrubs. Summer also brings wet periods, which create ideal conditions for snails and slugs to flourish.

The warm Fall allows spiders, ants and cockroaches to remain active inside and outside. They’ll also hide in garages, basements and attics to avoid the cooler nights.

During mild winters, insects and roaches will remain fairly active and you might still spot them outside. However, cool or cold spells will force them to look for warm homes and other buildings for shelter.
