Seasonal allergies are back, and spring is near! While seasonal allergies may be mild for some people, they can still cause congestion, sneezing and watery eyes. While pollen and dust typically cause seasonal allergies, pest infestations can make your symptoms worse!
Springtime brings increased rainfall, the bloom of flowers and greenery – but also termite swarm season! As rainstorms begin in the Spring, termites seek shelter and food sources inside residential and commercial properties.

Pest control may seem less critical during the winter months due to competing priorities, but that doesn’t make it any less important. You would be wrong in thinking this way; pests are less likely to be active during this period. Although they may appear as a minor inconvenience, pests can quickly turn into major problems if they become an issue for customers
One of the many benefits of living in Minnesota is that while we are in the midst of a long winter, we get a break from insects. Insects are less active in winter, but it is important to remember that many species spend the winter reloading and preparing to do what insects do during the warmer months of the year. Unlike insects, Ecotech is active all year round, and we work to ensure that your home is protected from whatever insect species may have designs on moving in with you this spring.

Winter often provides a respite from the sweltering summer heat, but not every irritation disappears with it. That includes pests. Many homeowners and business managers assume they won’t need to deal with common house bugs during winter since there won’t be mosquitoes around in December. But did you know that many types of pests remain active throughout wintertime? According to Pest World, cockroaches can survive below-freezing temperatures and multiple kinds of rodents will invade over 20 million residences annually
Insects love moisture and standing water around your home, and most often, pest infestations are due to the presence of water. Pest invasions can be a serious problem. Water damage to your home, especially to foundations, drywall, and framing, or the presence of mildew and mold are all invitations for pests to thrive inside the perimeters of your home. All living things need water, and pests are no exception.
Minnesotan pests love to be warm in winter, just like humans. Your home is a good place for them to do this. Pests can move into your home from the roof to crawl space in winter. They are often not detected. While some pests aren’t an issue, others can cause serious problems. For example, they can chew on electrical wires and transmit diseases to other animals.

It is not at all uncommon for Minnesotans to see ladybugs inside your homes and businesses in the colder months, though ladybugs typically hunker down for the winter within the bark of a tree. When inside a home or business, you’re likely to see them around windowsills and door trims, or on the ceiling. Do note that they do not pose any threat to people, pets, or the structure of your home. They also do not breed or multiply
Nearly every homeowner deals with unwanted pests in or around the home every year, in some shape or form. In many cases, the problem may be isolated, and the homeowner will use over-the-counter
