1. Summer Time and Pests Overview
When the heat rises, pest activity spikes. Summer in Northern California isn’t just BBQs and pool days — it’s also peak season for ants, spiders, and other home invaders. The warm weather speeds up pest breeding cycles and drives them to find cooler, wetter shelter… like your house.
2. Why Pest Activity Increases in Summer
Heat dries up natural water sources and burns off shelter in nature. This forces pests like ants and rodents to move indoors where they can find moisture, food, and a break from the sun. Insects also reproduce faster in the heat, so infestations grow quicker if not treated early.
3. Common Pests in Northern California (June Edition)
- Ants (especially Argentine ants) start building mega-colonies inside walls.
- Spiders look for cool, undisturbed places like garages or sheds.
- Earwigs & Silverfish sneak in through small cracks in search of moisture.
- Wasps & Yellowjackets get aggressive around food and drink outdoors.
- Rodents may seek shelter inside attics or crawlspaces as dry fields heat up.
- Cockroaches explode in numbers in hot, humid conditions — especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
4. Tips to Reduce Pest Activity
- Eliminate standing water (gutters, bird baths, leaky hoses)
- Keep pet food sealed and clean up crumbs right away
- Store firewood away from the house
- Seal cracks, especially near windows and baseboards
- Use yellow or sodium vapor lights outdoors to reduce night insect activity
