Save $50 on Orkin pest control this Memorial Day weekend

• Pest activity increases in the spring as insects and rodents emerge from winter shelter.
• Orkin is a pest control service that offers targeted treatments for different seasons.
• The company is currently offering a $50 discount on its first recurring service with a code.

Spring brings budding blooms, warm breezes and an endless line of tiny black ants who love to peter into your home and scrounge for all those crusty crumbs you didn't even know were hiding behind your trash can.

Awesome.

But you don't need to live surrounded by ants, roaches and dreaded mosquitos; investing in a pest control service can help keep your home critter-free throughout the year, but especially around spring time when they all seemingly decide together that your home is now their home.

And one of our favorite pest control services, Orkin, is offering $50 off their services with this limited-time deal.

Save $50 on Orkin with this code

If you've been contemplating signing up for a pest control service, spring is a great time to explore your options. Orkin is currently offering free quotes for its service, as well as $50 off your first recurring service with the code 50OFF.

As a homeowner who has had recurring pest control for the past six years, I can confidently say it's one of the best investments my husband and I have made in our home. Our technicians come on a regular schedule (once a quarter) and spray outside our home. If we tell them we have a specific problem (like cockroaches who love to nest under the sink), they come inside and take care of those, too.

Orkin offers targeted pest control services for specific critters and for each season (we're currently in "Swarm Season" by the way, so... that's nice).

What's included in an Orkin service?

If you sign up for recurring Orkin services, you not only get that $50 discount, but you get the peace of mind knowing that someone is always thinking about how to keep bugs out of your home. Orkin has the pest season broken down into six zones:

• Shelter Season (Mid-Late Winter): Pest activity slows as those bugs start hiding in your walls, attic and basement, waiting patiently to bother you again once the spring rolls around. Orkin focuses on reducing their activity during this time and safeguarding your home against their impending spring emergence.
• Swarm Season (Spring): This is our current season, where those pests happily crawl out of their hiding spots and start searching for food (more specifically, yours). During this time, Orkin focuses on preventive measures to make your home unappetizing for pests.
• Breeding Season (Late Spring - Early Summer): Three of the absolute worst pests thrive in this time: mosquitos, flies and cockroaches. Orkin targets all three, keeping them away from your home or targeting any infestation you may currently have.
• High Season (Mid-Late Summer): Welcome to the peak of pest season. At this point in the year, the bugs are everywhere, both inside and outside. Orkin reinforces your home's protections, targets those who have weaseled their way into your home, and starts to prep for the colder season where all those bugs will want to come back into your warm and cozy walls.
• Prep Season (Early Fall): Temperatures start dropping and those bugs begin thinking about their winter hibernation. Orkin focuses on reinforcement during this time, sealing up the doors to the tiny little bug homes they created for themselves within your walls.
• Invader Season (Late Fall - Early Winter): In my home, this is when we start seeing mice and cockroaches, who are actively seeking shelter from the cold weather. Orkin specifically targets entry points and common shelter areas to keep them from fully moving into your home.

Which pests are most prevalent in the spring?

During the Swarm Season (spring), bugs start emerging from their winter hideaways. You can expect to see increased activity among:

• Wasps
• Ants
• Termites
• Mosquitos
• Ticks
• Stink bugs
• Mice

Do you need this deal?

If you don't already have pest control (or you're unhappy with your current provider), you should absolutely consider getting a free quote from Orkin. You don't need to move forward after your evaluation, but if you do, that $50 off code is a great way to start your spring.
