Protecting Your Home from Bees, Ants & Spiders—Before They Become a Problem
After a long Central New York winter, early spring brings warmer days, melting snow, and renewed activity outdoors. Unfortunately, it also signals the start of pest season. At Gannon Pest Control, we know that the most effective way to deal with bees, ants, and spiders isn’t reacting to an infestation—it’s preventing one before it starts.
Early Spring: When Pests Wake Up
As temperatures rise, insects that have been dormant through winter begin searching for food, water, and shelter. Your home becomes an ideal target.
Ants emerge early, establishing new colonies and entering homes through the smallest cracks.
Spiders become more active as their insect food sources increase, often nesting in basements, garages, and corners of living spaces.
Bees, including carpenter bees, begin scouting locations to nest—often targeting wooden structures like decks, fascia boards, and eaves.
Once these pests establish themselves, they are far more difficult—and costly—to control.
Why Preventative Treatment Matters
Preventative pest control in early spring stops infestations before they start, offering several key benefits:
1. Stops Nesting and Colonies Early
Treating your property before pests become fully active helps disrupt nesting cycles. For ants, this means preventing large colonies from forming. For carpenter bees, it means stopping structural damage before it begins.
2. Reduces the Need for Reactive Treatments
Waiting until pests are visible often means more aggressive treatments later. Early prevention allows for targeted, lower-impact solutions that are safer for your home and family.
3. Protects Your Home’s Structure
Carpenter bees can cause long-term damage to wood, while ants can nest inside walls and foundations. Preventative treatments help preserve your home’s integrity and value.
Responsible Bee Management
At Gannon Pest Control, we understand the importance of bees to the environment. Our approach focuses on deterrence and prevention, not unnecessary elimination. By treating early, we help keep bees from nesting in unwanted areas while respecting their role in nature.
