What Pests Come Out in Spring in Wisconsin?

Spring signals the return of pests in our region. Help defend your backyard with Cato pest control from Mosquito Squad

Winters tend to be cold and dark in Wisconsin, so the return of the outdoor living season is always a wonderful time of year, except when pests invade your yard. There are many pests in our region that can make backyard living difficult at times, including mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, and many others that will try to target you in the yard. Rather than addressing these pests as they emerge, being proactive is the best way to handle these pests before populations explode. As Wisconsin transitions from winter to spring, all kinds of insects will start to emerge in force, so now is the time to act, and we can help!

The Wisconsin Tick Problem: Cato Pest Control is Needed

Much of our region’s attention will be occupied by mosquitoes in the coming months, but it is absolutely essential to stay wary of the ticks lingering in your yard. These tiny parasites have become huge problems throughout much of the United States in recent years, and it’s not because their bites hurt. Rather, it’s due to the dangerous illnesses they are reputed to spread, including the most common, Lyme disease. While this illness is easily treated with antibiotics, receiving a correct diagnosis can be challenging, and there are many cases of individuals who are technically cured but deal with chronic health issues in the aftermath of a bite. As soon as temperatures climb above freezing in April and May, ticks wake up hungry and actively search for hosts, and you and your pets are targets high on their lists. What makes this issue especially frustrating is that ticks are hard to notice in the first place, and they can easily attach unnoticed for hours or even days, increasing disease transmission risk. If you can’t notice ticks easily, professional tick control solutions are your best bet for keeping ticks away from you and your family. At Mosquito Squad, we offer powerful treatments that will ensure a dramatic reduction in nearby tick activity for weeks at a time, allowing you to savor your time in the yard with far more confidence.

Mosquitoes Still Reign as Wisconsin's Most Irritating Pest

While ticks are more dangerous in our region, mosquitoes are far more annoying when they buzz in our ears and deliver painful bites that remain itchy and swollen for days. These pests rely on standing water to raise their young, so make sure to clear water out of your gutters, bird baths, planter bases, and other receptacles that could attract these insects. However, this isn’t enough to keep mosquitoes out of your yard in the first place, and neither is bug spray applied to the skin. To fight back with proven solutions, look no further than our highly effective mosquito barrier treatments, which are guaranteed to reduce the mosquito population in your yard by 85-90% at a time for three weeks, providing you with unmatched coverage. Plus, know that we offer many other pest control solutions, so we have your back in the face of this threat as well!
