Protect Your Home From Wisconsin’s Most Active SPRING Pests

Spring is one of the busiest seasons for pests! Insects and rodents emerge from overwintering and begin searching for food, water, and nesting areas. Mosquitoes and ticks are laying their eggs in still waters, marshes, and swamps as they became alive again actively providing the perfect nesting grounds for spring's plentiful bugs.

For homeowners in Wisconsin — especially in areas like Shawano, Cecil, Clintonville, Legend Lake, Green Bay, and the Fox Valley — spring pest prevention is one of the best ways to stop infestations before they become costly problems later in the year.

Professional spring pest control treatments target the pests that are most active during Wisconsin’s thawing and warming months, helping protect your family, property, and outdoor spaces.


Common Spring Pests in Wisconsin

Ants
Carpenter Ants & Pavement Ants

Ant activity increases rapidly in spring as colonies begin expanding and foraging indoors. Carpenter ants are especially concerning in Wisconsin because they can damage damp or rotting wood around windows, basements, decks, and crawlspaces.

Signs of Ant Problems

  • Trails of ants in kitchens or bathrooms
  • Sawdust-like debris near wood
  • Ants near sinks or moisture areas
  • Large black ants around foundations

Spring Ant Treatments

  • Perimeter barrier sprays
  • Nest elimination
  • Crack and crevice treatments
  • Moisture reduction recommendations

Mosquitoes

Mosquito season begins once temperatures consistently rise above 50°F. Spring rains and standing water create ideal breeding conditions throughout Wisconsin.

Mosquito control programs typically begin in late spring and continue through summer with recurring treatments.

Mosquito Breeding Areas

  • Standing water
  • Bird baths
  • Gutters
  • Ponds
  • Wet landscaping
  • Children’s toys left outside

Benefits of Mosquito Treatments

  • Reduced mosquito populations
  • Improved outdoor comfort
  • Lower risk of mosquito-borne illnesses
  • Better backyard usability

Ticks

Ticks become highly active in spring and are a growing concern throughout Wisconsin due to Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

Common Wisconsin Ticks

  • Deer ticks
  • Dog ticks
  • Black-legged ticks

Tick Hot Spots

Boxelder Bugs

Boxelder bugs are one of the most common nuisance pests in Wisconsin. They often spend winter inside walls and attics, then emerge during warmer spring days. While they do not bite or cause structural damage, large infestations can become frustrating for homeowners.

Common Boxelder Bug Areas

  • Attics
  • Garages
  • Exterior walls

Prevention Methods

Spring is when queens begin building new nests around homes and commercial properties. Early-season treatment helps prevent larger nests during summer.

  • Garages

Preventative Wasp Services
