Pests will always be a part of our lives as Humans provide resources that pests need to survive.
Humans have lived on earth for millions of years and all the time, have been surrounded by pests.
Why are Animals and Insects Pests?
Animals and Insects become pests when they inhabit our property and cause disruption to our lives. Although simply seeking to survive, if left untreated, many pests can cause damage to our property and therefore need to be removed.
Which Pests are Most Common?
It’s difficult to say which pests are most common as it often depends on the season and the area in which you live.
Spring Pests
Flies: Flies mature as spring begins and their search for food will often bring them to populated areas.
Spiders: Spiders become active in the spring and begin to search for food. As flies and other insects mature spiders have an abundance of food on offer.
Ants: Ants forage for food in warm weather. As the temperatures increase, ants will venture away from their colonies to look for food. Eventually this will lead them into our homes. Rain during spring can also encourage ants to leave their colonies in search of safer accommodation.
Bees and Wasps: In spring they become more active and prepare their nests so they can breed. Spring is also the start of mating season when they look to breed.
Bed Bugs: Bedbugs are a persistent problem all year round, however their numbers do tend to peak in April to September due to increased travel around these periods.
Summer Pests
Bees and Wasps: In summer, bees and wasps reach their peak as the warmer weather brings them out of their nest in search of food. In the summer is when you will most likely discover and active nest.
Flies: The summer is peak breeding season for flies. They will spawn in animal waste, rubbish bins and on rotting foods.
Bed Bugs: Bedbugs are a persistent problem all year round, however their numbers do tend to peak in April to September due to increase in travel during this time of year.
Autumn Pests
Spiders: Spiders move indoors as the temperature drops, so you will certainly notice them more in the autumn. Spiders also breed during this time so their activity will increase as they search for a mate.
Rats and Mice: Like spiders, rats and mice will look for shelter as the temperature cools. They are also attracted to food sources which humans often leave in abundance for them.
Fleas: With rodents come fleas. Fleas thrive in warmer weather so as the weather cools, they move indoors. Often they will lay eggs which will hatch as you turn on your heating for the start of winter.
Winter Pests
Rats and Mice: Rats and mice struggle to survive outside in the freezing temperatures, so they will seek shelter in our property.
Fleas: Fleas move indoors when the temperature drops often hitchhiking on our pests. Once inside they will lay eggs in your carpets. Fleas can be very difficult to remove, even more so if you have pets.
Bed Bugs: Bedbugs are a persistent pest all year round, but as we move around more, visiting each other’s properties, bedbugs can often move between properties with ease.
