Bristol’s fluctuating seasonal temperatures contribute to an ongoing battle with pests, with each season bringing its own challenges. During colder seasons, rodents such as house mice and roof rats seek warmth in homes and businesses, often nesting in attics and basements. Hot, muggy summers bring fleas, ticks, and ants in droves. Brown marmorated stink bugs become a major nuisance in the fall, gathering on homes in large numbers as they seek shelter for the winter. Additionally, Bristol’s rural surroundings make it a hotspot for cluster flies, which invade homes in late summer and early fall.
Year-round pests persist as well. Carpenter ants are particularly problematic in wooded areas, tunneling through damp or rotting wood and causing structural damage. Termites are another persistent threat, particularly in older wooden structures that provide ample food sources for their colonies.
