Spring Pests Are Back: What to Watch For and How to Stop Them

03/12/2026

As temperatures rise and lawns begin to green, spring also signals the return of something most homeowners would rather avoid — pests. Warmer soil and longer days create the perfect environment for insects and burrowing animals to become active again.

If left unchecked, these pests can quickly damage lawns, landscaping, and outdoor spaces. The good news is that early detection and the right products can help you stay ahead of the problem before it gets out of control.

Here are some of the most common spring pests homeowners see this time of year and how to deal with them effectively.

Moles: The Underground Lawn Destroyers

The key to stopping moles is acting quickly once you see fresh tunneling activity.

One of the most effective solutions available is Talpirid.  It’s the best mole killer ever. This product uses realistic worm-shaped baits that mimic a mole’s natural food source. When placed correctly in active tunnels, it targets the mole directly and helps eliminate the problem before the damage spreads across your yard.

Talpirid has become a go-to solution for professionals and homeowners alike because it’s designed specifically to work with natural mole feeding behavior, making it one of the most reliable control options available.
