Pest Problems During Spring In Louisiana

Spring is nature's alarm clock for insects. As the days start warming up, the bugs being coming out. Most of the insects that show up this time of year don't really bother anyone. We will be covering a few here that do.

Mosquitoes
Everyone's least favorite pest. These little buzzers are the deadliest human hunters on the planet. Contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes' primary source of food comes from plants. The females only start hunting for blood when they reproduce. The blood they take from you or other roaming creatures allows them to reproduce more rapidly. The extra mosquitoes in turn hunt you down when reproducing and make even more mosquitoes. There's a pattern here.

To reduce this mosquito population boom, do the following for mosquito control:
  • Remove anything that holds stagnate water from your yard.
  • Regularly dump the water from anything that holds it which can't be removed. 
  • Have your yard fogged or sprayed for mosquitoes. Be sure the applicators target the trees and shrubs.

Ants
Ants start appearing more often this time of year. They are looking for food and your house has plenty. A good pest control company can inspect your home for better ways to reduce ant problems. Sanitation is the key to keeping these bugs out of your home.
  • Use air tight containers for loose pantry items.
  • Don't leave dishes in the sink overnight.
  • Keep your home tidy.
  • Clean under areas hard to see where crumbs may fall and get ignored.
  • Sweets and fats are an ant's best friend. Keep things containing lots of them stored away.​

Wolf spiders
Wolf spiders are often confused with brown recluses. This is because they are also brown and a spider. Unlike brown recluses, wolf spiders are not a cause for alarm. Wolf spiders usually live in solitude. They do not spin webs. They keep their children on their back until they go out on their own. A huge plus to wolf spiders is they keep other insect populations in check. If you have a lot of wolf spiders, it could mean there is an underlying insect problem waiting to be discovered. Treating their food source is the best way to get wolf spiders an eviction notice.

Wolf spiders sound terrifying. I'm glad they aren't poisonous. I'll have to hire a pest control service to come by and do a quick sweep for spiders.
