Common Seasonal Pests in North Carolina

Dealing with seasonal pests is a common challenge for homeowners, especially since certain nuisances become more prevalent at specific times of the year. Unlike other U.S. states, pest control in North Carolina is unique because the warmer climate prevents pests from fully hibernating in winter.

These warmer, and often more humid, conditions also accelerate the reproductive cycles of pest species, leading to a noticeable increase in their populations, particularly during the summer. So, essentially, every season in North Carolina is pest season.

However, with that said, you’re most likely to see certain pests at certain times of the year.

What Are the Most Common Spring Pests in North Carolina?

Spring is one of the most active times of the year for pests. Pests are more active and start reproducing with spring’s warmer weather. But pests don’t stand a chance when you call the seasonal pest exterminators at Bug Out.

Watch for these pests in spring in North Carolina:

Birds: As their main food source, insects, become more active in the spring, so do birds. They’re also considered a nuisance in North Carolina because they clog gutters and cause water damage from their nest building.
Fire Ants: Fire ants are particularly prevalent in North Carolina and become more active in the spring months, similar to other southern U.S. states.
House Centipedes: House centipedes like dark and moist areas and are often found in bathrooms and basements. Known for their numerous legs and speed, these pests can spread quickly if not addressed promptly.
Millipedes: Millipedes are more likely to infest homes during or after heavy rain.
Snakes: Although typically nocturnal, snakes are more active during the day with wetter spring weather and warmer temperatures.
Termites: Termites are notorious for damaging wooden structures in North Carolina homes, and are more active in the spring.

What Are the Most Common Summer Pests in North Carolina?

Pests love warmth and humidity, and our summers have plenty to go around. Plus, food is abundant from summer’s warmer temperatures.

The result is pest populations spiking, but fortunately, all of these common summer pests are covered by our seasonal pest control services:

Bed Bugs: Increased summer travel means more opportunities for these unwelcome guests to spread, leaving behind itchy bites and general discomfort.
Bees, Wasps, and Hornets: While bees are crucial for our blooming landscapes, wasps and hornets can certainly put a damper on outdoor enjoyment.
Cockroaches: Warmer temperatures fuel rapid reproduction for cockroaches. If you spot one in the Tar Heel State, it’s likely a German or American variety.
Fleas, Ticks, and Mites: Often hitching a ride indoors on pets, these pests are known carriers of diseases like Lyme disease, prevalent in our region.
Flies: Longer, warmer days in the summer invite these persistent insects to pester you and your family.
Mosquitoes: The humid, warm weather we experience is ideal for mosquitoes, which can transmit illnesses such as West Nile Virus.

What Are the Most Common Fall Pests in North Carolina?

While summer is peak pest season, pest populations often hang around into the fall. For some species, the reproductive season doesn’t even peak until then. Once cooler temperatures arrive, pests seek refuge from the cold and head indoors.

You’re more likely to see these pests at this time:

Asian Lady Beetles: As temperatures drop, these insects seek shelter in homes and form large infestations. They are particularly common in the Piedmont region.
Boxelder Bugs: As the weather starts to get cooler during the day, these bugs find their way inside your home in sunlit areas, often in the eastern part of the state.
Spiders: After their summer reproductive season, spiders like the Brown Recluse and Black Widow become more visible. Both are found across the state, though the Brown Recluse is less common in coastal areas.
Stink Bugs: These smelly bugs escape the cold by finding their way inside your home, especially the Brown Marmorated stink bug. You’ll likely see them near doors or windows, a common sight in urban and suburban areas.

What Are the Most Common Winter Pests in North Carolina?

With winter’s arrival, outdoor environments become hostile to most pest life. That’s why our winter seasonal pest services focus on the interior of your home. Our seasonal pest technicians are adept at finding these pests, wherever they might be hiding.

These are the pests you’re more likely to see in the winter months:

House Mice: As temperatures drop, these tiny invaders often seek the warmth of homes, becoming a more noticeable presence.
Norway Rats: These adaptable rodents are known to move indoors during cooler periods, seeking refuge from the elements.
Silverfish: You might spot these shimmering insects in your pantry or other food storage areas, particularly as the weather cools.

Can You Avoid Seasonal Pests in North Carolina?

You can have an impact on how many seasonal pests you see, but it’s hard to stop them completely. That’s why we say they’re both predictable and unpredictable. For best results, there are a few seasonal pest prevention tips we recommend:

Seal potential entry points such as window sills and doorways.
If you bring items inside from outdoors, inspect them thoroughly for pests.
Maintain a tidy home environment, both inside and out.
Promptly address any excess moisture issues.
When professional help is needed, don’t delay. Consult a pest exterminator for thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and long-term prevention.

Bug Out Reviews

Have used this pest control service for several years. Very rarely have an insect problem, but when I do, Bug Out comes immediately and addresses the issue! They have helped with ground wasps, pantry moths, sink flies, pantry moths, field mice, and roaches as needed over several years. As my regular ongoing service, they are also great. Highly recommend.
