Pests are the unwanted guests in our homes. Unwanted because they pose serious health risks. Not only that, they can even compromise the structural integrity of our property. But, pest infestations can be controlled and even eradicated. However, to optimize our pest prevention techniques, we need to first understand their infestation patterns. One aspect of understanding this is to be aware of their seasonal behavior and movements. It is quite predictable though because their needs are almost always limited to warmth, food, and shelter. Here we will be discussing how each of the four seasons can affect pest movements and when these unwanted guests are likely to visit our homes.
Spring
In spring, pests wake up from hibernation and start looking for food and water. They begin to multiply at this time. Though most of their movements happen outside of your house, they can still remain in your building because of the availability of food. And if it rains badly, then it becomes hard to get rid of them from your house. You may have noticed ant movements to higher ground in order to survive extreme weather conditions.
Summer
Summer is the prime time for mating. Insects multiply exponentially. But, at this time of the year, most of the insect activity happens outside of your home as everything they need, food, shelter, and warmth, is sufficient outside. If it rains in summer, insect activities increase significantly. For example, mosquito bites and their annoying noise are more common during summer evenings. You may even choose to stay indoors out of fear of mosquito bites. Summer is also the time when bees and wasps find their way to your backyard. They build their nest in your house or on tree branches. They can even attack you and pose health threats. Keeping your backyard clean and making sure your neighborhood is free of places that can hold still rainwater can help prevent bug activities. You can also contact home pest control services if they are uncontrollable.
Autumn
In autumn, the temperature starts to drop slowly and food sources start to deplete. As a result, you can observe an increase in pests in your home. These pests can vary from insects like spiders, and ladybugs to rats and mice. Once they are in, these creatures stay out of your sight, hiding in the cracks and crevices of your home. Some of them may be harmless such as ladybugs. But pests like rodents and cockroaches immediately start an infestation. Therefore, it is important to seal every gap, hole, and crack in your building. Depending on the type and age of your property, this may be difficult. So what you can do is… you can seek help from residential pest control services located in your area.
Winter
During winter, many pests go into hibernation. So pest activity normally decreases in this period. Bees take shelter in logs and crevices, ants in underground colonies, and other pests may migrate to warmer places, which is the most common strategy to win against winter. Some pests like mice and rats do not have the ability to resist cold weather, so they tend to enter your house in search of food, shelter, and warmth. By being observant about the signs of a rodent infestation and sealing off all the possible entry points, you can protect your property effectively during winter.
