The one pest most synonymous with Halloween is the spider. Spiders are typically more active in the fall, as they reach maturity during that season’s months, when moist weather and cooler temperatures are more conducive to web building.

Stinging insects – including yellowjackets, carpenter bees, hornets, and wasps – remain active in and around your home. They can be found around trees, bushes, building corners, overhangs, gutters, and garbage dumpsters, and under patios and decks.
