What are these springtime bugs in Northern Colorado good for?
Springtime bugs in the West all have specific roles in the environment, which we like to recognize. Whether you are dealing with ants, spiders, or stinging insects, these bugs wake up in the springtime and, in general, cause no harm other than inciting a little bit of fear. Many serve as food for larger animals, but they also aerate soils, recycle nutrients in the soils, serve as pollinators, and control pests, according to World Wildlife Magazine.
Purdue University states that most insects are “underappreciated for their role in the food web” and that the good they do to keep the environment in perfect balance outweighs any of the bad that comes with them. If you find a lot of springtime bugs in Northern Colorado, you may need professional help, as many of these pests come in large numbers.

Can you get rid of springtime bugs without exposing yourself to toxic chemicals?
Sometimes you want to try to fix your own pest issues. Here are seven steps to try to prevent springtime bugs in Northern Colorado from entering your home. You may find, however, that the pests return or that the infestation is larger than you can manage on your own. Then it is time to call the trusted professionals with decades of experience in this area.
- Essential Oil Sprays: Create natural bug-repelling sprays using essential oils like peppermint, citronella, lavender, or eucalyptus. Mix a few drops of your chosen oil with water in a spray bottle and spritz around windows, doors, and outdoor gathering areas to deter bugs.
- Herbal Repellents: Plant bug-repelling herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, and lemongrass in your garden or pots around your home. These herbs emit scents that bugs find unpleasant, helping to keep them away.
- Screening: Install screens on doors and windows to prevent bugs from entering your home while still allowing fresh air to flow. Repair any tears or holes in existing screens to maintain their effectiveness.
- Natural Predators: Encourage natural predators of common pests, such as birds, bats, and beneficial insects like ladybugs and praying mantises, to frequent your yard. These predators can help keep bug populations in check without the need for chemical pesticides.
- Clean Up Debris: Remove any standing water, leaf litter, or debris from your yard, as these can provide breeding grounds for insects. Keep outdoor areas tidy and well-maintained to discourage bugs from taking up residence.
- Outdoor Lighting: Opt for yellow or LED lights for outdoor lighting, as these are less attractive to bugs than traditional incandescent bulbs. Position lights away from entry points to your home to minimize bug activity near doorways and windows.
- Physical Barriers: Use physical barriers like mesh screens or netting to protect outdoor living spaces from bugs while still allowing airflow and visibility. This can be especially useful for patio areas or outdoor dining spaces.
By implementing these non-toxic methods, you can repel springtime bugs in Northern Colorado for a time. But you may also find that these hardy little creatures have a habit of returning. And that is when you will want to call the pest control professionals at Northern Colorado Pest and Wildlife Control.
