"A recent survey found that 38% of homeowners report pest
invasion issues during the spring and summer, and with recent
weather patterns across the U.S. being erratic, it's no surprise
that we anticipate another buggy season ahead," says Brian Feldman, Senior Director of Operations at
TruGreen. "Pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas are attracted to
and thrive in warm, damp conditions, so it's essential to put
preventative measures in place now – particularly for the people
living in the top 20 identified cities."
