As the Alabama humidity rises, so does the activity in your yard. From the historic streets of Old Cloverdale to the growing neighborhoods in Pike Road, homeowners are starting to see the “full force” emergence of seasonal pests.
In our latest episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, Michael Wienecke and Travis McGowin dive into why the Montgomery area is seeing mosquitoes and beetles as early as March and what you can do to protect your home.
The "Nightmare" Pests of the River Region
Summertime in the River Region brings more than just heat; it brings high-difficulty pests that require professional strategy.
Yellow Jackets & Wasps: Michael and Travis discuss “nightmare” scenarios where yellow jackets chewed through sheetrock to enter a home. In areas like Prattville and Wetumpka, high eaves and chimneys make these nests difficult to reach without professional tools like the “Gotcha Duster”.
The Fire Ant Invasion: If you’ve ever stepped into a “landmine” of fire ants while mowing the lawn, you know the pain. Peskies offers a specialized treatment that is guaranteed to keep fire ants out of your yard for one full year.
Moisture Seekers: Have you noticed “prehistoric-looking” insects near your foundation? Those are likely earwigs. They are drawn to moisture and are a common sight in Millbrook and Montgomery during the humid summer months.
Why DIY Isn't Always Enough
While it might be tempting to spray a can of pesticide at a wasp nest, Michael warns that flying insects pose a unique challenge. Professional Summer Pest Control in Alabama focuses on “preventive maintenance”—sealing gaps in roofs and treating conducive areas like mulch beds and shrubbery before the infestation moves indoors.
“Whatever ails you—whether it’s ants, roaches, or wasps—we pretty much have a solution for you.” — Travis McGowin
