Calgary pest seasons
What to watch for through the year
Spring · Mar–May
Snow-melt reveals vole runways across lawns; ants and wasps start scouting for nest sites.
Summer · Jun–Aug
Peak season — wasp and hornet nests grow fast in eaves, decks and play structures.
Fall · Sep–Nov
The key prevention window — mice and rats push to get indoors before the cold.
Winter · Dec–Feb
Rodents that got in during fall stay active in walls and attics all winter.
