Houston's warm, humid climate makes it one of the most pest-challenged cities in America. Apartment communities face year-round pest pressure from termites, roaches, ants, mosquitoes, rodents, and bedbugs. A seasonal pest control strategy is essential.
Spring (March-May): Termite swarm season. Schedule termite inspections and bait station checks. Begin mosquito control treatments. Treat for ants (spring invasion). Inspect for rodent entry points.
Summer (June-August): Peak mosquito season. Monthly perimeter treatments for mosquitoes, ants, and roaches. Bedbug treatments (peak travel season). Monitor for wasp nests on building exteriors.
Fall (September-November): Roach activity peaks as they seek indoor shelter. Rodent proofing (mice and rats seek warmth). Spider treatments. Fall perimeter spray to prevent winter invaders.
Winter (December-February): Rodent control is the priority. Rats and mice enter apartment buildings seeking warmth. Inspect for entry points. Seal gaps. Set traps. Monitor for bedbugs (holiday travel season).
Year-round: quarterly interior treatments, monthly common area treatments, bedbug monitoring, and resident education on pest prevention. Call Tell Projects at (832) 203-7987 for comprehensive pest control coordination.
