FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne’s NBC) — It's the perfect time for homeowners to check their homes for termites, pests, and bugs. 

If you don’t check, those bugs can destroy homes and cost thousands of dollars in damage. 

Even with the warmer weather, it’s prime time for them to start swarming.  

"Actually, they've already started to emerge." 

Pest Control Expert Dale Hodgson says cockroaches, spiders, bugs, and plenty more are making their return. 

Homeowners need to be on the lookout because most times, some don't see or know these critters are in their homes. 

Hodgson says that could increase especially with the high wind gusts we've had lately. 

Here are some more tips: 

• Keep all structural wood from coming in contact with the soil
• Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from your home and 5-inches off the ground 
• Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well-ventilated and dry
• Always clean crumbs and trash from inside and outside your home
