Summer season is about to knock on the door in Mumbai. It is pest season also. Which pests/insects will you more likely see creeping all around during the summer months? Insects annoy us more in summer months by populating at a faster rate; the major reason for their population boom is an interaction of rainfall, increasing temperatures, and the availability of more food sources. The body temperature of some pests depends on the external environment; therefore, these are called ectothermic also. Therefore, an increase in temperature correlates with increased insect activities. Are you ready to keep your residential or commercial free from insects/pests to stay protected against several diseases spread by tinny ectothermic pests?
Here I list six troublesome pests that make it a must for you to call a home pest control services in Mumbai at the start of every summer-
- Flies: Just one open meal is enough to realize that the flies are back in summer. These won’t bug you just outdoors; houseflies got their name for a valid reason. Flies invade your premises for hiding in the summer season to escape the heat. Since flies reproduce during hot months, therefore, problems get worse if they enter your office or home. Also, flies tend to stick around in safe places in your premises during the fall.
- Termites: Though termites swarm in the spring season, these grow in number during summer. The queen termite can lay up to 30,000 eggs a day. Therefore, if you see initial signs of termites’ presence, you will surely see more termites in the summer season. Calling a termite treatment agency is a must if see this tinny summer pest. Once these establish a colony, termite treatment becomes a complex and challenging task even for professionals.
- Fleas: Pets start facing issues of scratching and biting as the summer starts. The reason is the growing number of fleas with more abilities to move. An indoor infestation by the best pest control companies may help you keep fleas out of your living space.
- Grasshoppers: Generally these are found in farms and agricultural land but these often come to nearby residential areas also. Even a single grasshopper in your premises disturbs the whole family because of their fast movement and hissing noise. Grasshoppers are more active during the day. Generally, grasshoppers do not bite unless they feel threatened but if they bite, it may be too much irritating.
- Ticks: Fleas don’t bite you and your pets visibly but ticks do. Like mosquitoes, ticks spread several diseases, and the frequency of getting a disease because of ticks increases during the summer because you spend more time outside. It is good that pest treatment companies have effective human-friendly measures to eliminate ticks.
- Mosquitoes: Like most insects, Mosquitoes are ectothermic. As the hot weather of summer starts, the mosquitoes’ presence reaches its peak. The warm temperature supports them in laying eggs and hatching. Mosquitoes are responsible for spreading a number of humanity’s greatest diseases like Dengue, Chikungunya, and Malaria. Every summer season needs a thorough mosquito treatment to protect you against several diseases.
There is indeed no one-time solution for summer pests but calling a pest control company at the start of summer is the best little investment you should essentially do to protect your family against mosquito-borne infectious diseases for a long.
