Michael Askew, a seasoned veteran with two decades of experience in the pest control industry and the director of Bug Tech, underscores the significance of this season beyond its aesthetic appeal. “This is termite season. This is swarming season,” Askew explains, shedding light on the phenomenon within the industry. “Termites signal the established colony for swarming, dispatching winged termites to initiate new colonies elsewhere.”

Beyond termites, a myriad of other pests, including bed bugs, fleas, and roaches, resurface with the arrival of spring. “We’ve been inundated with German roaches lately,” notes Askew, emphasizing their rapid reproduction rate. “Their swift proliferation can swiftly overrun homes and apartments, with a single female laying an egg sack weekly, yielding up to 25 roaches per batch.”

Each infestation presents a unique challenge, necessitating tailored solutions based on the specific property or home being treated. “Every property is distinct,” states Askew, highlighting the importance of customized approaches. “We assess the situation, engage customers to understand their concerns, and devise a personalized plan accordingly.”

For homeowners seeking to safeguard their abodes from pest intrusions, Askew offers two cardinal rules. “Ensure your residence is thoroughly sealed,” he advises, cautioning against leaving doors and windows ajar without screens, which can invite pests indoors. “Additionally, adopting a proactive pest control management plan is indispensable.”

As Lubbock embraces the vernal season, Bug Tech stands ready to combat the surge in pest activity, underscoring the importance of vigilance and strategic pest management to preserve the sanctity of homes and businesses alike.
