Seasonal & Regional Pest Management Tips

California – Summer

Summer is often the peak of insect activity. Argentine ants will be attracted to fruit trees, roses and other flowers. Carpenter ants are also attracted to these sweet foods. In addition, black widow spiders, earwigs, odorous house ants, and scorpions are also more active. Midsummer is also the time when yellow jacket colonies located on or near a house become large enough to represent a threat to the people living there. In addition, warm weather and outdoor activities with pets mean more fleas in your living areas.
