What’s All the Buzz About? 5 Pests Ruining Spring

Are you terrified of stepping out into the backyard because of all the spring pests like ants and spiders? Or maybe you can’t even get outside to enjoy doing yard work. Either way, pests can really make the outdoors unbearable. Thankfully, you can put your trust in the Wagner Pest Solutions team! We have all the necessary equipment and sprays needed to eliminate these five pests plaguing your property and ruining your outdoor fun.

1. Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are out, and they’re here to stay all season long. Not only are they annoying with their high-pitched buzzing, but the pain of their bites can linger for days. If your backyard or property is plagued with them, it’s enough to make you not want to step outside. They can also ruin a good outdoor dinner party, making outdoor spaces unusable. 

2. Ants

Ants not only build up their little nests on sidewalks and in the cracks of driveways, making your landscape unsightly, but they also ruin backyard fun. This is especially true for fire ants. Fire ants are common here in the state and can be deadly. So, it’s just best to have your property treated properly so these pests don’t ruin your backyard fun. 

3. Bees

Most of the bees in Arizona are African honey bees, and they tend to be some of the most aggressive insects. If you find a beehive, it’s best to leave it alone and give us a quick call. Carpenter bees are also another annoying pest, not to mention they are big and scary. Nothing ruins an outdoor oasis faster than a swarm of bees. 

4. Beetles

The Palo Verde Beetle is often confused for a cockroach and can be quite annoying to have on your property. They’re usually attracted to roots and decaying wood, so it’s important you keep your property clean and debris-free. They’re also attracted to lights, and the summer season is their peak mating season. So, there’s no doubt they can quickly ruin a good outdoor experience. 

5. Scorpions

While they technically don’t buzz around, scorpions are still one of the most annoying pests for homeowners. Arizona is home to a variety of scorpion species, and they love moisture. That’s why many people find them hiding under rocks or inside their shoes. Scorpions also thrive where there are plenty of other bugs to feast on, so taking care of other pests will also take care of your scorpion problem.
