Which Pests Should Moultonborough Lakeside Homeowners Watch Out For?

Situated on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, Moultonborough is an idyllic, quiet Lakes Region town that’s famous for having more miles of lakeshore than any other town in the state. It offers beautiful views and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities that residents and homeowners love.

However, lakeside living certainly has its pitfalls, the biggest being the unique pest pressure that Moultonborough residents face from mosquitoes, ticks, and seasonal invaders. But mosquitoes aren’t the only pests to watch out for here. Let’s talk about the other kinds of pests to expect in Moultonborough and how pest control from Mosquito Squad can help you enjoy your outdoor space again without pests. 

The Most Common Outdoor & Seasonal Pests in Moultonborough

Mosquitoes are quite obviously the most common pest here in Moultonborough, simply because they lay their eggs in water, and there’s no shortage of lakes, marshes, and low-lying areas (which fill with standing water after snowmelt) here. However, we also have a growing tick problem here, and Lyme disease is becoming a greater risk in New Hampshire. 

The other two primary pests that lakeside homeowners see are stink bugs and rodents. Stink bugs (and Asian beetles) invade homes during the fall when it’s time to seek shelter from the impending winter. Rodents are similar, and once these pests get inside, they’re hard to remove. The primary struggle with pests in Moultonborough is that, because many lakeside cabins are seasonal, pests like rodents, spiders, and stink bugs can accumulate during vacant periods. 

How to Help Reduce Pests in Your Backyard

If you’re concerned about leaving your lakeside cabin vacant for too long or are simply seeing more pests while you’re living there, there are a few simple tips we can offer to help reduce the pest pressure in and around your home.

• If possible, try to remove any standing water
• Keep gutters clear of leaf litter and other debris
• If you have play areas for children, like swingsets, keep them in sunny areas in your yard
• Keep the lawn trimmed short, and be sure to trim vegetation close to your house
• Call Mosquito Squad for professional pest control in Moultonborough
