Ants are one of the first insects to wake up or thaw out after winter. During the spring it’s common to see winged ants. Winged ants also known as swarmers indicate the ant mating season has started. Each ant species mates in what is known as nuptial flight. Male and Female ants both have wings. The worker ants do not. After mating the male dies soon after. The female or queen ant then flies to locate a new nesting site to start a new ant colony.

Winged Carpenter ants can commonly be misidentified as termites. One major difference to look for would be the body shape. A carpenter ant’s body is visibly broken into 3 sections. The head, abdomen, and thorax. Termite bodies are rectangular or oval-shaped. Carpenter ants are also darker in color and have longer antennas that are elbowed

Centipedes are one of the scariest-looking insects we have here in Minnesota. During the spring centipede activity becomes more noticeable inside damp basements. These insects are prone to dehydration so they need to live in moist environments to survive. Centipedes are the apex predator in the insect world. They will eat a variety of insects that may be living inside. If a home currently has insect activity this would attract centipedes to live inside the home.

There are a variety of different moisture pests that can start making their way inside in the Spring. Some of the most common include; millipedes, springtails, sowbugs, and earwigs. These insects all play the same role in nature. They help break down dead organic matter. They start making their way inside in the spring from the increase in groundwater from rainfall and snow melt. We recommend clearing out any leaf litter inside basement gully windows and keeping plants and shrubs trimmed back at least 2 feet away from the home. We also highly recommend installing a dehumidifier in the basement.
