Common Pests for Each Season in Wisconsin

While some pests are active throughout the year, many experience population increases during specific seasons. Understanding when pests are most active can help homeowners better prepare for potential infestations.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common seasonal pests in Wisconsin. Our seasonal pest control services are made to protect your home from:

Spring Pests

As temperatures begin to rise, many insects and wildlife species will emerge and begin searching for food, water, and nesting locations.

• Birds: Nesting activity increases significantly during spring, occasionally leading to nests in gutters, vents, soffits, and other structures.
• Ants: Ant colonies become increasingly active in spring as workers search for food sources and expand their territories.
• House Centipedes: These fast-moving pests are commonly found in damp areas and may become more noticeable as moisture levels increase.
• Millipedes: Periods of heavy rainfall can drive large numbers of millipedes toward homes and other structures.
• Snakes: Warmer temperatures encourage higher levels of snake activity as they emerge from their shelter and begin seeking food.
• Termites: Spring marks the beginning of termite swarming season, when reproductive termites leave established colonies to form new ones.

Summer Pests

Warm temperatures, longer days, and increased humidity create ideal conditions for many pest species.

• Bees, Wasps, and Hornets: Stinging pest colonies grow throughout summer, leading to increased activity around homes, patios, gardens, and outdoor gathering spaces.
• Mosquitoes: Mosquito populations thrive during summer, especially around sources of standing water where they reproduce.
• Fleas, Ticks, and Mites: Outdoor activity increases exposure to these pests, which can affect both people and pets. In some cases, they may even transmit Lyme Disease.
• Flies: House flies, cluster flies, and other nuisance flies often become more active during the summer months.
• Cockroaches: Warm weather accelerates cockroach reproduction, increasing the likelihood of infestations in Wisconsin.
• Bed Bugs: Summer vacations often contribute to increased bed bug activity, as these pests can hitch a ride on your luggage back home.

Fall Pests

After reproductive seasons peak in late summer, many pest colonies will still be lingering. As temperatures begin to cool, some pests start searching for shelter inside homes and businesses.

• Asian Lady Beetles: Large numbers may gather on sunny exterior walls before moving indoors for shelter.
• Boxelder Bugs: These nuisance pests commonly congregate around buildings and sunny areas during the fall.
• Spiders: Spider activity often becomes more noticeable in late summer and fall after the mating season has ended, including the Brown Recluse and Black Widow.
• Stink Bugs: Many species seek protected indoor environments as the outdoors become cold, especially the Brown Marmorated stink bug. It’s common to see them near doors or window cracks.

Winter Pests

Although outdoor pest activity slows during winter, many pests seek indoor shelter where food, warmth, and moisture are still available.

• House Mice: Rodents frequently move indoors as outdoor resources become scarce.
• Norway Rats: These adaptable rodents often seek shelter within homes, garages, crawl spaces, and commercial buildings.
• Silverfish: Silverfish remain active indoors throughout winter, particularly in humid areas such as basements and bathrooms.
• Wildlife: It’s not only rodents that want indoor shelter in the winter. Squirrels, raccoons, and other wildlife may attempt to enter attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids during colder weather.
