As the days remain warm, and the nights become colder and colder, bugs and rodents are starting to seek shelter for the winter months.
This summer, there has been an increase in bees, wasps, ants, grasshoppers, crickets, spiders, pillbugs millipedes and earwigs. Certified associate entomologist and Wisconsin pest control master technician Doug Degner, who is a sales and service manager for Sun Prairie-based Wil-Kil Pest Control, said the drought conditions have pushed insects inside.
The result of a wet spring means an increase in those pests who thrive in moist conditions. You could say that April showers bring May pests. One of the common pests to find after a lot of rain and moisture are earwigs.
