Common Insect Intruders
Understanding the behavior of the insects trying to enter your home is the first step in effective control. Different pests have different motivations for breaching your perimeter, ranging from seeking moisture and warmth to hunting for food sources left out in the open.
- Ants: Often the most persistent nuisance, ants leave pheromone trails that alert the rest of the colony to food sources in your kitchen. They can nest in walls or cracks in the foundation, making them difficult to eradicate without treating the colony.
- Spiders: While many are harmless, they can be unsettling to find in your living areas. They typically move indoors to find warmth or because they are following their prey—other insects—inside.
- Wasps: These stinging insects often build nests in eaves or near entryways. They can be aggressive when threatened, posing a safety risk to anyone playing or working in the yard.
- Occasional Invaders: This category includes pests like earwigs and beetles that wander inside seeking shelter from extreme outdoor temperatures. While they may not infest food, their presence indicates gaps in your home's defense.
Our Insect Control Process
At Proterra Pest Control, we utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a responsible strategy that goes beyond simple spraying. We focus on a step-by-step approach designed to deliver long-term results by addressing the root of the problem.
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a detailed assessment of your home and property. We identify active pest populations, locate entry points, and determine environmental factors—like moisture or landscaping issues—that are attracting insects.
- Strategic Action Plan: We implement a targeted strategy using the "perfect marriage" of products. We use organic treatments for the interior to ensure safety and organic-blended, top-of-the-line synthetics for the exterior to establish a strong barrier.
- Safe Application: We are conscious of chemical agents in your home. Our products and methods are specifically chosen to be safe for children and pets, so you can feel good about the process from beginning to end.
- Continuous Support: Insect control requires consistency. Our ongoing service tracks new activity and reinforces the work we have already done. If pests reappear between seasonal services, we re-treat at no extra charge.

The Importance of Professional Service
Many homeowners attempt to handle insect problems on their own using DIY methods, but these often fall short. Store-bought sprays typically only kill the insects you can see, leaving the nest or colony thriving within your walls or underground. Without addressing the source, the infestation will inevitably return, often stronger than before.
Professional service provides the expertise necessary to identify the specific species and their breeding habits. A trained technician knows exactly where to look and which products will be most effective for that specific insect. This targeted approach ensures that the infestation is handled efficiently, saving you time and frustration in the long run.
Moreover, professional pest control focuses on prevention as much as elimination. By identifying structural vulnerabilities and recommending environmental changes, a professional helps you fortify your home against future invasions. This proactive maintenance is the key to maintaining a consistently pest-free environment.

Seasonal Insect Trends
In our region, insect activity fluctuates with the seasons, and knowing what to expect can help you stay prepared.
- Spring: This is prime time for ants. As the ground warms up, colonies become active and start foraging for food, often leading them straight into kitchens.
- Summer: High temperatures bring out wasps and stinging insects. They are busy building nests and can become aggressive as their populations grow.
- Fall: As the weather cools, spiders and other crawling insects like boxelder bugs often try to move indoors to find a warm place to overwinter.
- Winter: While activity slows down, rodents and overwintering insects may still be hiding in wall voids or attics, waiting for spring to emerge.
Regular maintenance ensures that no matter the season, your home has a defensive barrier in place to handle these shifting threats.
