Common Summer Invaders Near Lexington, KY

Now that we are entering the hotter months of the year, you may start to see common summer invaders in or around your home. While the type can vary depending on a range of factors, the desire to restore your home to its natural state is likely the same in every situation. Fortunately, our team of experienced specialists at IPM Pest & Termite can help you begin to correct any existing issues.

Ants are some of the common summer invaders that we hear about from our customers. These insects, which live in groups called colonies, can enter your residence through tiny holes as they search for food, water, and shelter. As a result, you may not initially notice that you have a problem. The first thing that you might want to consider is contacting us so that we can perform a professional inspection, which can be useful when it comes to identifying the type of ant that is present.

As you learn more about these common summer invaders, you will also be able to explore helpful steps that you can take on your own to mitigate potential issues down the road. While some properties naturally attract ants, trimming bushes, sealing exposed wood, fixing moisture problems, and storing firewood away from your home are all things that can minimize potential problems.

When enjoying the outdoors, you might find yourself dealing with mosquitoes as well. While these common summer invaders can certainly be a nuisance since their bites can cause itchy red bumps, they can also be dangerous due to the diseases that they can carry. Therefore, making sure that your home is safe and enjoyable is paramount when spending time outside. If you are looking for things that you can do yourself, keeping your grass cut low and making sure that tarps are not holding pools of standing water can certainly make a difference. Additionally, we can also speak with you about treating your property every 21-30 days.

Termites are another type of common summer invader that can significantly impact your home. After you contact our team, we can assess your property. From there, we can then begin to formulate a plan. Our service will remove the entire colony and not just the surface invaders, which can help curb the entire problem. Of course, we are here to help you eliminate other household pests as well, including bed bugs, cockroaches, and more.
