Summer in Lubbock is all about enjoying the outdoors – backyard barbecues, evenings on the patio, and kids playing in the yard. But these idyllic scenes can quickly be spoiled by the unwelcome presence of buzzing mosquitoes, persistent flies, and stinging wasps. Don’t let these pesky intruders ruin your summer fun! At Pinkston Pest Control, we’re your local experts in keeping your outdoor spaces pest-free, so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
The Summer Pest Invasion: Why They Thrive in Lubbock
The warm temperatures and increased humidity of a Lubbock summer create the perfect breeding ground for many nuisance pests:
Mosquitoes: Thriving in stagnant water sources, mosquitoes are not only annoying with their itchy bites but can also transmit diseases.
Flies: Drawn to food sources and decaying organic matter, flies can be a nuisance around your patio and outdoor eating areas, and they can also carry bacteria.
Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets: These stinging insects become more active in the summer as they build nests and forage for food. Their stings can be painful and even dangerous for those with allergies.

Tips for a Pest-Free Summer Outdoors:
While professional pest control is the most effective way to manage summer pests, here are some steps you can take around your Lubbock home to help minimize their presence:
Eliminate Standing Water: Regularly empty bird baths, flowerpots, kiddie pools, and any other containers that can collect stagnant water, as these are prime mosquito breeding grounds.
Keep Trash Bins Covered: Securely cover your outdoor trash cans to prevent attracting flies and other pests.
Clean Up Spills and Food Debris: Promptly clean up any spills or food debris outdoors, especially around eating areas.
Maintain Your Yard: Keep your lawn mowed, trim shrubs and bushes, and remove fallen fruit, as these can provide harborage and food sources for pests.
Repair Screens: Ensure your window and door screens are in good repair to prevent flying insects from entering your home.
