Why Pest Control Is Crucial
The Surge of Summer Pests
Summer is synonymous with warmth, sunshine, and unfortunately, an increase in pest activity. As temperatures rise, pests become more active, infiltrating homes and businesses. This season, be prepared to deal with a variety of unwanted guests.
Common Summer Pests
Ants
Ants are among the most common summer pests. They invade homes searching for food and water, often forming long trails that are hard to eliminate.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes thrive in warm weather, breeding in stagnant water. Their bites cause itchy welts and can transmit diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus.
Flies
Flies are not just annoying; they also carry diseases. They breed rapidly in the summer, especially in garbage and decaying organic matter.
Wasps
Wasps become more aggressive in the summer. Their stings can be painful and, for some, potentially life-threatening due to allergic reactions.
The Importance of Pest Control in Summer
Health Risks
Pests are more than just a nuisance. They pose significant health risks. For instance, mosquitoes and ticks can transmit serious diseases, while rodents can contaminate food and surfaces with harmful bacteria.
Property Damage
Many pests cause property damage. Termites and carpenter ants, for example, can weaken wooden structures, leading to costly repairs.
