Spring Has Sprung — And So Have the Pests: What to Know This May

As the Lower Mainland warms up for spring, many of us welcome the sunshine, blossoms, and longer days—but unfortunately, so do pests. From Squamish to Hope, May marks the start of peak pest season, with ants, rodents, wasps, cockroaches, and other unwelcome guests becoming much more active.

Why Spring Pest Control Matters

Spring is the time when pests emerge from dormancy or begin seeking new nesting sites. Ants start invading kitchens, rodents look for warm indoor shelters, and wasps begin building nests under eaves and decks. If left unchecked, these early signs can turn into full-blown infestations by summer.

Whether you’re managing a single-family home, a commercial property, or a multi-unit residence, early pest prevention can save you time, stress, and money down the line.
