Seasonal Insects
Crane flies, June bugs, lovebugs, and other seasonal visitors
Overview
Seasonal insects appear in predictable waves tied to temperature, rainfall, and day length. Most are nuisance pests that do not damage structures or bite — but their sheer numbers can be overwhelming. Understanding their brief life cycles helps homeowners manage them effectively.
Common Species
How to Confirm
Large numbers appearing suddenly tied to season or weather
Insects clustering at lights or on vehicles/windows

DIY vs. Call a Pro
Most seasonal insects are manageable DIY with exterior lighting changes, perimeter spray, and turf treatments for larvae. Professional treatment is rarely needed unless lawn grub damage is extensive.
