August tends to be the warmest month with an average high of 96 degrees, while January is the coldest month with the average temperature at night dropping to 38 degrees. Hot, humid summers combined with mild, wet winters make Bryan a popular place for pests to reside. Here are some of the most common pests in the Bryan and College Station area.
Bed Bugs
These tiny, flat bugs generally feed at night, which is why they often live on mattresses. While some people have no reaction to a bed bugs bite, others can wake up with a small cluster of itchy bumps. Small dots of blood on bed sheets and black specks of bed bug fecal matter in the seams of a mattress are also signs these bugs are living in your home.
Fleas
The weather in Bryan provides its residents with many opportunities to spend time outside. During all those fun outdoor excursions, fleas may hitch a ride home on you or your pets. Unfortunately, flea infestations can quickly spiral out of control due to female fleas laying 20 to 30 eggs a day. While those eggs are usually laid directly on your pet, they can end up all over your home and backyard when they fall off the animal.
Termites
Subterranean termites are common in Bryan, TX, and drywood termites are sometimes found as well. Subterranean termites build their nests in the soil outside your home. They then construct tunnels leading to your house where they consume wood. Drywood termites can nest inside your walls as they eat away at your home's wooden structural integrity.
Mosquitoes
While Bryan's warm weather makes it a great place to live, the heat combined with the humidity in the region also attracts mosquitoes. Unfortunately, the constant presence of these blood-consuming pests can make it hard to enjoy your property's outdoor space. While a mosquito bite is usually a harmless annoyance, mosquitoes can potentially carry pathogens that may cause diseases like West Nile virus. Having your yard treated by a professional pest control expert can help you manage your home's mosquito problem.
Rodents
Roof rats, Norway rats and the house mouse are the most common rodents in Texas. These pests can enter your home through garages, from tree limbs hanging over roofs and by way of exposed vents. Once they are in a house, they can contaminate food, chew through wires and destroy wood.
