Seasonal Pest Control in Winnipeg: What to Watch for Year-Round

Winnipeg’s wild weather isn’t just tough on people—it also affects which pests show up and when. From freezing winters that drive rodents indoors to warm summers that bring out everything from ants to wasps, pest pressures shift with the seasons.

That’s why smart, effective Winnipeg pest control isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a year-round strategy. At Valkyrie Pest Solutions, we understand the seasonal patterns that affect homes in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. Here’s what to expect each season, and how to stay one step ahead.

Winter: Rodents on the Move

As the temperatures drop, pests like mice, rats, and even squirrels start looking for warmth—and that usually means your home. Crawlspaces, attics, garages, and basements become prime real estate for these intruders.

What to Watch For:

• Droppings or gnaw marks near baseboards and pantries
• Scratching or movement in walls or ceilings
• Cold air drafts near baseboards or plumbing

How Valkyrie Helps:

Our team provides crawlspace inspections, rodent clean-out, and rodent control programs to prevent and eliminate infestations. Ongoing preventative services help catch activity before it becomes a major issue.

Spring: The Pest Reboot

Spring in Winnipeg is a wake-up call—for pests. Ants, spiders, cluster flies, and wasps begin reappearing as snow melts and temperatures rise.

What to Watch For:

• Wasp nests forming in eaves or sheds
• Ant trails near windows and kitchens
• Increased insect activity in garages and entryways

How Valkyrie Helps:

We offer ant control, spider control, and wasp removal, as well as full insect control solutions. Our team also handles residential services for both houses and apartment complexes.

Summer: Peak Infestation Season

Hot weather is prime time for mosquitoes, wasps, carpenter ants, and even wildlife like raccoons and skunks. The risk of infestations—both inside and out—is highest this time of year.

What to Watch For:

• Aggressive wasp behavior near outdoor spaces
• Carpenter ants around decks or wooden siding
• Wildlife damage to gardens, sheds, or garbage bins

How Valkyrie Helps:

Our carpenter ant services, shield maiden packages, and Viking/Valhalla service tiers are designed to protect your home during peak pest season. We also offer humane bird control and advanced commercial services for summer businesses.

Fall: Seal It Tight

Fall is the time when pests get ready for winter—and your home is the target. Rodents become more aggressive about getting inside, and insects look for a place to overwinter.

What to Watch For:

• Signs of gnawing or nesting indoors
• Cluster flies near windows
• Increased rodent sightings or sounds in walls

How Valkyrie Helps:

We recommend preventative treatments, detailed home proofing, and fall inspections to fortify your home before winter hits. Our flexible Valkyrie service packages are ideal for proactive homeowners.
