With back-to-school season in full swing and temperatures still soaring across North Texas, Home Run Pest & Termite Control is reminding Wylie families that late summer is one of the most active times for pests, from ants and roaches to mosquitoes and rodents seeking shelter.

"Many families don’t realize that August is prime time for pest activity," said  Johnny Bennett, owner of Home Run Pest & Termite Control. "The heat drives insects and rodents to look for cooler indoor spaces, and once school routines start, it’s easy to overlook small entry points that pests can use to invade your home."

Top Late-Summer Pest Prevention Tips:

1. Seal Entry Points: Inspect and caulk gaps around doors, windows, and utility lines.

2. Maintain Your Yard: Trim shrubs and keep grass short to reduce hiding spots.

3. Control Moisture: Repair leaky faucets and ensure gutters drain away from the house.

4. Schedule a Professional Inspection: Early detection can prevent costly infestations.

To help local families prepare for the school year, Home Run Pest & Termite Control is offering $50 off any first-time pest control service booked by September 15, 2025.
