Minnesota Pest Season Calendar
Cold winters with heavy snow limit outdoor pest activity but drive rodents, cockroaches, and other pests indoors for extended periods. Peak pest season runs May through September.
Spring
As snow melts, carpenter ants and wasps emerge from dormancy — inspect eaves and wood structures.
Summer
Short but intense pest season; treat yards early and keep up with mosquito prevention.
Fall
Fall invasions happen fast — seal the home before the first hard freeze.
Winter
Long winters mean months of indoor rodent pressure; use bait stations and traps proactively.
Common Pest Issues in Minnesota
Rodent infestations driven by long, harsh winters
Carpenter ant damage in moisture-prone wood
Short but intense mosquito and tick seasons
Cluster flies and lady beetles invading attics in fall

What Customers Are Saying in Minnesota
I unfortunately had a very poor experience with Orkin. I am a relatively new homeowner who trusted Orkin to be helpful and professional, but unfortunately I felt very taken advantage of. The initial service person looking for potential mouse activity said he could not identify anywhere inside or outside that would be a source of mouse activity, and instead, he coerced me into a year long service plan since there would be no way to mitigate mice in one visit. The only good thing was that he did a

Very fast service. We noticed some wasps around and in our house and Loida was able to come over the next day to address the issue. She is very friendly and knowledgeable and explained what she was going to do and how it would help. She also said that even though they shouldn't come back, if we noticed them again in the same spots, she would do a treatment again for free. Speaking of price, it was very affordable compared to other services in the area. I would definitely call her again and defin

Thank you very much for the kind words!
We have had a major box elder bug problem and Loida came out to service the growing problem. She is very prompt, responsive, thorough, and flexible for scheduling. For myself getting services completed or even scheduled is difficult with my working hours but Loida saved the day. She connected with me outside of business hours and we found a time that I would be available to stop in and pay for her services. She was done before I even arrived and took the time to talk about future maintenance and

Kaala, am glad to know that you are happy for the work I have done. Thank you for your good words!<br><br>
Loida was absolutely fantastic! She came quickly and was very accommodating in scheduling us to fit in with the realtors open house on our home. She donned her bee garb and got right down next to the nest to apply the treatment so the entire nest would be exterminated. They were all gone by the next day. We had had tried multiple times to spray and get rid of these persistent wasps but werent able to get rid of them. She did it in a very short time! Very good price as well, and I was happy

Thank you, Jill. I appreciate your good words!
After a little price misunderstanding, I still untrusted Cloverleaf to address an ant problem I had in my home this spring. I have never used a pest control business before and was unfamiliar with pricing as I didn't think it would be much. What I was also unfamiliar with was the included follow up that was included. They have been back to my home a handful of times to address any continuing issues and call/message me to see if all is well. I thought I wouldn't hear from them again after their f
I contacted Robb upon discovering at rat’s nest and rat in my basement. Despite it being the weekend he contacted me and set up a time that worked for me on Monday. After looking at the former nest site and inspecting the basement for rat sign he explained that he thought the rat had likely vacated. I was happy to hear it, but still wanted to proceed as if the rat was present. He recommended bait stations and answered all of my questions as it pertained to having them in the house/yard with my s
Last summer, after never having a bug problem we had a sudden infestation of Sow bugs everywhere in the house, garage and yard. I ran into Robert in his cloverleaf truck at the building supply store and we talked about my bug problem. He was very knowledgable about this particular type of bug (not an insect but a crustacean) and what we needed to do to get rid of them. After scheduling a visit he arrived promptly and did his thing...no more bugs. There will need to be a followup in the spring a
Mosquito Shield is the REAL DEAL. I tried a different company this year and it has been a very poor experience. They've sprayed twice now and I still have tons of bugs. I had been with Mosquito shield for the last couple years and just wanted to try a different company - BIG MISTAKE. I called Mosquito Shield NW/SW Metro MN and Alexander got someone to my home the same day for a spray, and when these guys spray - the bugs go away! Plus, I love that they use natural oils and EPA-registered product
