Wondering when is the best time of year to spray house for bugs and why? We break down the answer.
Inviting guests into your home is a right of passage for homeowners. You get a chance to share with people who you are by showing off where and how you live. Still, there are only certain guests you’ll enjoy having in your home. Friends and family only. But many others are trying to get into your home. No, we’re not talking about robbers! Whether looking for shelter, food, or warmth, your home is an ideal place for bugs and critters to take up residence. Your home needs protection. The question is, when is the best time of year to spray house for bugs? When are they looking to move in, and when should you take action?
There are two schools of thought but only one winner. We’ll address each of these and why some people prefer one method to the other.
Spring is the best time of year to spray house for bugs
You don’t often think of spraying for bugs in the wintertime because you don’t notice many. That doesn’t mean they aren’t in your home. Often, when the weather gets colder, bugs and insects make their way into the parts of your home that are safe for them to stay protected during the long, frozen season.
Pests become more active as the weather gets warmer, but you don’t want to give them time to lay eggs, multiply, and become a real problem. The early spring can be the best time to spray house for bugs because that is when your uninvited guests are at their most vulnerable. They haven’t had time to grow too great in numbers, and you can destroy nests and colonies before they ever have a chance to grow.
This method of eliminating the problem before it arises also gives you a better chance of relieving yourself of the problem for longer. If you wait and spray when you have a larger problem, it is more difficult for any pest control specialist to ensure coverage of all areas and really get rid of your problem. By spraying early, the complete removal of pests is far easier to accomplish.
The best time to spray house for bugs is when you notice the first one
Spraying when you notice the first bug has the same idea of being proactive but is a little flawed in its approach. You may think you are taking quick action when you spray after noticing the first bug, but you could already have a bigger problem than you think.
Many bugs and pests multiply and live entirely out of sight. By the time you notice them, they could have multiplied into huge colonies. Once you have a large number of bugs in your home, this could require multiple treatments and will end up costing you more.
The thought of not spraying if you don’t see a need makes you think you can save money and time by avoiding unnecessary spraying. It is actually the exact opposite. If you are not proactive with treatments before you see bugs, you have a greater chance of spending more time and money on extensive spraying for your home.
The best time and the best treatments
The only thing left is making sure you are getting the right treatment. You can cause problems in your home no matter when you spray if you use dangerous chemicals.
