Seasonal pest problems in Chesapeake, VA
Chesapeake’s mix of humid summers and mild winters creates a revolving door of pest activity. Different pests show up as the seasons change, and each one brings its own set of problems. Here’s a neighborhood-friendly breakdown of what to expect year-round:
Spring
- Ants – Spring showers drive ants indoors searching for food.
- Spiders – As bug activity picks up, so do the spiders that feed on them.
- Termites – Swarmers take flight in spring to find mates and start new colonies.
Summer
- Cockroaches – American cockroaches love the heat and often show up in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Rodents – Mice and rats scavenge nears grills, trash bins, and outdoor areas.
- Mosquitoes– Warm, humid summers are perfect for cookouts, gardening... and unfortunately, mosquitoes.
Fall
- Wasps – As the weather cools down, wasps get more aggressive. Their colonies are at full size, food sources are running low, and they start showing up near homes searching for anything sweet.
- Spiders – Arachnids head inside as temps drop, spinning webs in out-of-the-way areas including quiet corners, garages, and basements.
- Rodents – Mice and rats, particularly roof rats, look for cozy indoor spots to nest, such as attics and wall voids.
Winter
- Rodents – Mice and rats settle indoors, making nests, chewing wires and contaminating food.
- Cockroaches – Still active indoors, especially near warmth and water.
- Spiders - If bugs are still around, spiders will be, too.
No matter the season or the pest, Getem Services is here to keep your Chesapeake home pest-free all year long!

- We add an extra layer of defense with protective applications around doors, windows, and your home’s foundation.
- If needed, we’ll place interior and exterior bait stations to keep pests from coming back.
