Spring has finally arrived in Clarksville! Flowers are blooming, trees have leaves again, and birdsong fills the air. New life is everywhere, including in the pest world.
Spring is a busy time of year for pests. Pests that vanish in the cold winter come back when it warms up. Warmer weather, more food, and plenty of water create ideal conditions for pests to thrive.
Many pests come out in spring and might invade your Clarksville home. Let’s look at six of the most common ones. If you know how to watch out for these six pests, you’ll be in good shape to keep your Clarksville home pest-free this spring.
What are the most common spring bugs in Clarksville, Tennessee?
The following six pests are some of the most common in Clarksville.
-
Ants: We’re all familiar with ants, but there are a surprising number of different species of ants that are active around Clarksville. The good news is that most ant species that get into homes are pretty harmless. They can contaminate your food, but they won’t cause major harm. The bad news is that there are a couple of species in Clarksville that are more of a concern. Carpenter ants can harm your home by tunneling into the wood. Pharaoh ants can spread diseases as they carry harmful germs.
-
Mosquitoes: You might not have to worry about mosquitoes infesting your house, but there’s a good chance they’ll infest your yard. Mosquitoes thrive in the hot, humid weather around Clarksville. Not only are mosquitoes a nuisance, but they can also spread diseases through their bites.
-
Termites: If you live in Tennessee, termite protection is a must for your home. Termites will infest an unprotected house eventually. Once inside, they can damage wooden structures for as long as they stay.
-
Spiders: Spider activity often wanes in the winter, but you’re likely to notice an uptick in activity as the weather warms up. These eight-legged pests can make a mess of your house with their webs. Clarksville is also home to a couple of venomous spider species, so it’s best to avoid an infestation.
-
Wasps and Bees: Each spring, stinging insect queens build new nests and lay eggs. This is the best time to spot any wasp or bee activity around your property. That way you can get it taken care of before the colony has a chance to grow. Stinging insects are especially dangerous to people who are allergic to their stings.
-
Stink Bugs: Stink bugs are considered fall pests because that’s when they typically enter homes. However, if they have overwintered in your walls, you’re likely to see them again in the spring as they make their way back outside. Although they are not known to cause any major issues, other than the unpleasant scent they give off, they are still pests that you don’t want in your house.
What month are bugs most active?
The six common pests we’ve discussed here are all at their most active in the spring and summer. Some remain active through the fall, but populations tend to drop off quite rapidly as the weather cools and food sources become harder to find.
