Early Springtime Pests in El Paso, Treat Now?

Hello, spring - welcome back, pests! Here are a few pests to watch out for in El Paso this spring.

Having spent a couple of months with virtually no outdoor pests, El Paso residents are urged to schedule their seasonal pest control in early spring. You needn’t wait to see a lot of pests to begin treating them. It’s easier to catch pests before they reach full emergence, and begin laying eggs, breeding, and fulfilling their lifecycles on your property. Here are a few of the pests that will be coming out from their winter slumber in early springtime.

Ants Are On the March in March

Ants , though tiny, are very hardy. Fire ants, in particular can survive natural disasters and extreme environments by hiding deeper into their nests. While inside, they will halt activity to stay warm and conserve energy. In El Paso, it is not highly unusual to see ants on a warm winter’s day, as they are easily triggered by warm weather, thinking it is springtime. But when spring actually arrives, they are right and ready – and you should be too! Treating ants now will help allay infestations further into the season.

Mosquitoes Area Abuzz

Some of the most annoying El Paso pests are mosquitoes . When the weather reaches a sustained 65°F, they will begin to emerge. Mosquito eggs and larvae will also resume, developing into their next life phase. Mosquito weather comes pretty early in El Paso. Because it takes only a week to 10 days for a mosquito egg to become an adult and females can lay new eggs every three days – up to 500 in their lifetime – early El Paso mosquito control is recommended.

Along Come Spiders

Perhaps some of the most universally dreaded pests are spiders. Ask any arachnophobe and they’ll tell you that it doesn’t matter their color, size, or whether they are venomous – spiders are pests to get a handle on early in the season. Implementing your seasonal spider control efforts early will help keep spiders better controlled throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
