Summertime in Pennsylvania is a beautiful time of the year, but it also brings with it a host of unwelcome guests. From ants marching into your kitchen to mosquitoes swarming your backyard barbecues, pests can quickly turn your summer plans upside down. At Patriot Pest Solutions, we understand how frustrating these invaders can be, and we’re here to help you get your home and yard back.
Typical Summertime Pests in Pennsylvania
1. Ants
Ants are one of the most common pests you’ll encounter during the summer months. They invade your home in search of food and can be particularly stubborn once they establish a trail. Some common types of ants in Pennsylvania include:
- Carpenter Ants: Known for causing structural damage by burrowing into wood.
- Odorous House Ants: Named for the unpleasant smell they emit when crushed.
- Pavement Ants: Often found nesting under sidewalks or driveways.
2. Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are not only annoying but can also spread diseases such as West Nile Virus and Zika. They breed in standing water and are most active during dawn and dusk.
3. Ticks
Ticks are a significant concern, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. They can carry Lyme disease and other illnesses. Common types in Pennsylvania include:
- Black-legged Ticks (Deer Ticks)
- American Dog Ticks
- Lone Star Ticks
4. Spiders
While most spiders are harmless, some, like the black widow or brown recluse, can pose a threat. They seek shelter in cool, dark places, making basements and attics prime spots for infestations.
5. Stinging Insects
Bees, wasps, and hornets can ruin outdoor activities with their painful stings. These insects often build nests in eaves, trees, or underground.
6. Rodents
Mice and rats can be more than just a nuisance—they can cause significant damage to your property and pose health risks with their droppings.
