Spring Pest Control Omaha: 5 Threats That Can't Wait

Nebraska spring doesn't build slowly. It hits. Temperatures cross fifty degrees and suddenly every dormant pest colony underground is active. For Omaha homeowners and business owners, the stretch from late February through April is the most important time to get ahead of pest control. Once the season peaks, it's harder to get on a schedule — and more expensive to deal with infestations that could've been caught early.

RECON Pest Services is a family-owned pest control company with 26 years of combined experience serving Omaha, Lincoln, and the surrounding Nebraska area. Here's what the team sees every spring — and why early action is the only move that makes sense.

1. Subterranean Termites

Termite swarm season in Nebraska runs March through May. Eastern subterranean termites — the most common destructive species in the state — swarm on warm mornings after rain when soil temperatures reach around 70°F. They're easy to miss. Many homeowners mistake swarming termites for flying ants. By the time mud tubes appear near the foundation, a colony has often been feeding on wood for months.

RECON's termite exterminator services include the Sentricon® System — a baiting program that targets the entire colony, not just the swarmers you can see. Don't wait on this one. Termite damage doesn't reverse.

2. Ants

Carpenter ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants — they all wake up in spring. Ant colonies can grow to hundreds of thousands of insects. Store-bought sprays kill what's visible. They don't touch the nest. RECON's ant exterminator services use targeted treatments that get to the source. One review from a longtime RECON customer puts it plainly: "Initially we had a large amount of carpenter ants and they came out and solved that issue a few years ago. Haven't seen any since."

That's the difference between treating symptoms and fixing the problem.

3. Wasps

Queen wasps come out of hibernation in spring and start building immediately. A nest that could be handled in minutes in March becomes a full colony by July — and aggressive ones at that. RECON's wasp Omaha exterminator services target wasp activity before nests establish around eaves, soffits, and outdoor structures.

4. Rodents Post-Winter

Rodents that moved indoors during cold months don't automatically leave when it warms up. Spring is the right time to inspect for droppings, chewed insulation, and entry points. For commercial clients — especially restaurants and warehouses — rodent evidence before a health inspection triggers consequences that go much deeper than the cost of pest control. RECON's commercial pest control team provides customized treatment plans with health code compliance built in. The emergency response team is available for situations that can't wait.

5. Mosquitoes and Ticks

Nebraska spring brings moisture. Mosquitoes and ticks become active earlier than most people expect — and both carry real health risks. RECON's mosquito and tick exterminator services treat yards and exterior spaces before these pests establish breeding populations.
