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.
