What Seasonal Pests Infiltrate Wooded Glastonbury Neighborhoods Each Fall?

Fall signals the final chance for insects to gather, mate, and seek shelter for the winter. Your property could benefit from Glastonbury CT pest control when these activities begin

What months do you most associate with annoying insects? For most, the peak of the outdoor living season also signals the time of year when pests amass in the woods and our backyards, and not all of these pests are worth ignoring. Many will simply keep to themselves out in the yard, but there are others that will actively seek you, your landscaping, and your home. Warm weather allows all manner of creatures to thrive, and many of these pests will have a last surge of activity in the late summer and autumn. Why? As summer’s heat starts to diminish, an animal’s instincts warn of winter’s imminent arrival, and they will start to prepare accordingly by mating and seeking shelter for the upcoming season. As we enter summer’s final chapter, pests you should keep an eye out for include stink bugs, asian lady beetles, spotted lanternflies, and even rodents. 

Insects to Monitor this Fall

Of the insects in our region, the ones that don’t usually get enough attention include the aforementioned group. Many of them can damage your property or even enter your home in search of winter shelter. For example, spotted lanternflies will demonstrate a surge of activity this autumn when they start feeding urgently to gain the nutrients they need to lay eggs. These pests won’t target you for these nutrients, but your trees and landscaping won’t be so lucky. Spotted lanternflies feed on the sap of living trees and plants, and when their populations are huge in the late summer, they can severely weaken and even kill trees in your yard. Additionally, their waste feeds the growth of black sooty mold, which can spread and kill other vegetation nearby. Asian lady beetles and stink bugs are also pests to be on the lookout for. These insects are notoriously skilled at identifying gaps in your home’s defenses and exploiting them; even the smallest cracks could serve as an entryway for them. With your property under siege both outside and indoors, what can you do to fight back?
