In June, exterminators most commonly deal with ants, June bugs (June beetles), wasps, mosquitoes, and fleas.
Here’s a breakdown based on seasonal pest activity:
Ants: As colonies expand rapidly in warmer weather, ants frequently invade homes and kitchens searching for food. June is a peak time for ant infestations, with trails often spotted near windows, walls, or food sources.
June Bugs (June Beetles): These scarab beetles, including species like Phyllophaga and Cyclocephala, are prevalent in June, hence their name. Their larvae (white grubs) cause significant lawn damage by feeding on grass roots, while adults eat foliage and are attracted to lights.
Wasps: Wasp activity increases in June as nests grow. Workers feed on rotting fruit, making them more aggressive, and nests can cause property damage. Exterminators often treat nests with residual insecticides.
Mosquitoes: With warmer temperatures and summer showers, mosquito populations explode in June, especially in areas with stagnant water. They pose health risks by carrying diseases.
Fleas: Fleas become more active in summer, often brought into homes by pets interacting with wildlife. Bites are common, especially on lower legs, and infestations can escalate quickly.
These pests thrive in June due to favorable warm and humid conditions, increased food availability, and breeding cycles. Regular pest control treatments are recommended to manage these seasonal surges. Call (813) 303-9690 today!
