Why Preventative Pest Control is the Smart Choice for Homeowners This Spring

Spring is arriving in Upstate New York, a welcoming change from the cold and snowy winter. However, as the days become warmer, flowers and trees aren’t the only things awakening from their winter dormancy. Pests are waking up too.

It’s never too early to start your pest control as it doesn’t take much to signal to animals and insects that it’s time to emerge from their winter slumber. A few warm days between snowfall and cold snaps is all it takes for pest infestation to begin. 

In Upstate New York, common spring pests include overwintering bugs like stink bugs, lady beetles, box elders, and cluster flies, along with carpenter ants, ticks, mosquitoes, and spiders. Wildlife such as groundhogs, raccoons, bats, skunks, opossums, and squirrels also become more active in the spring. 

It’s not only their increased activity we have to be concerned about. Spring time is also when animals and insects begin breeding. That’s why it’s important to implement preventative pest control measures early – to stop infestations before they begin.

Complete Care as a Stress-Free Pest Control Solution

While peak pest season is considered to run from April through October, we’ve found that year-round treatment is best for preventing issues before they have a chance to begin. That’s why we’ve created The Thomas Pest Complete Care plan.

Our Complete Care program provides year-round protection, focusing on identifying and addressing potential pest issues before they become serious. With regular inspections and treatments every two months, our expert technicians take a proactive approach to eliminate potential causes rather than reacting to infestations after they occur.

Complete Care covers the entire home throughout the year, focusing on exterior service during the peak season. Our technicians assess the house as a whole, not just for immediate pest concerns but also for potential future risks.

In addition to our regular maintenance, we provide specific services as needed. For instance, if we notice a vulnerability in the roof or siding where squirrels or rodents can enter, we’ll recommend wildlife services.

Benefits of Thomas Pest Services’ Complete Care

A proactive approach is not only more effective, it’s also more cost-efficient and helps minimize stress around your home. There are many benefits to choosing Complete Care, including:

• There When You Need Us: Whether it’s routine maintenance or urgent pest concerns, we save you time while providing reliable protection and peace of mind.
