Different pests are active at different times of year in the Chesapeake and Hampton Roads area. Here's what to watch for:

**Spring through Fall:** Ants typically enter homes March through October. Fungus problems peak May through October. Spiders are most active May through November.

**Year-Round Threats:** Termites, cockroaches (both American and German), and rodents like house mice and roof rats can invade any month.

**Fall and Winter:** Home insulation problems are especially common during these cooler months.

**Moisture Damage:** This can happen year-round and cause serious damage quickly-Priority Pest recommends yearly inspections.

The best defense is catching problems early. Priority Pest offers free home, termite, and moisture inspections to identify issues specific to your home. Call (757) 204-4523 to schedule yours today and get a customized protection plan.
