Spring Pest Surge Alert 2025: What the Latest NPMA Report Means for You (Updated 2025)

As the proud owner of Pest Control Service Limited, it’s my responsibility to keep you informed and protected. That’s why we closely follow national pest trends and forecasts issued by leading organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Their latest Public Health Pest Index (Spring 2025) has just been released, and the findings are critical—especially for residents and businesses in certain high-risk regions.

According to the NPMA, this spring could bring a notable surge in pest activity across major U.S. cities, driven by fluctuating winter conditions and rising temperatures. If you live in or near one of the identified hotspots, now is the time to prepare. Even if your area isn’t directly on the list, this report highlights a broader trend of pest behavior that affects all of us.

What’s Causing This Surge?

“While we can’t control the weather’s impact on pest activity, we can take proactive steps,” says NPMA's Dr. Jim Fredericks. Sudden shifts in climate—like dry winters, unexpected cold snaps, or unseasonably warm conditions—are driving pests indoors in search of warmth, moisture, and food.

Pests such as mosquitoes, ticks, cockroaches, and rodents aren't just a nuisance; they’re known carriers of serious diseases like West Nile virus, Lyme disease, Salmonella, hantavirus, and more. With the NPMA predicting an active spring, it's more important than ever to protect your home or business from these health threats.

Cities to Watch: NPMA’s Top 10 Spring Pest Surge Hotspots

Based on the NPMA’s Spring 2025 Pest Index, here are the cities most likely to experience increased pest pressure:

• Boston, MA – Expect early tick activity due to a mild spring, with rodents already seeking shelter indoors.

• Cleveland, OH – Wet winter conditions mean ideal breeding for cockroaches and ticks.

• Denver, CO – Frigid start to winter has already driven mice indoors.

• Florida (Statewide) – A dry start followed by warming temps will lead to surges in mosquitoes, cockroaches, and rodents.

• Grand Rapids, MI – Rats and mice are moving indoors, and spring rain will fuel tick populations.

• Louisville, KY – Cold winters mean rats indoors now; ticks could emerge early.

• New Orleans, LA – Rats and cockroaches are already inside homes; mosquitoes will soon follow.

• Salt Lake City, UT – Rodents are entering buildings for water and warmth.

• San Antonio, TX – Record warmth has kept pests active; a spring boom is imminent.

• Seattle, WA – Dry winter has rodents and roaches searching homes for moisture; ticks may rise with spring rains.
