Seasonal Pest Guide: What Hampton Roads Homes Face Each Season
Coastal Virginia has four distinct pest seasons. Here is what to watch for, and when to get ahead of it.
Spring
As the ground warms, ants become active and start trailing indoors looking for food and moisture. Spring is also termite swarm season in Hampton Roads, when reproductive termites take flight. Discarded wings near windows are a warning sign worth a free inspection.
Summer
Humidity peaks and so do mosquitoes, which breed in any standing water. Wasps and hornets build nests under eaves and decks, and roaches thrive in the heat. This is the season to keep exterior protection current.
Fall
As nights cool, rodents look for warmth and can enter through gaps as small as a dime. Spiders also move indoors. Sealing entry points now prevents a winter infestation.
Winter
Mice and rats settle into wall voids and attics, and overwintering insects hide in quiet corners. Activity is easy to miss, which is why year-round plans keep pressure low through the cold months.
