It’s widely known that weather affects our moods, emotions, and activity level, but did you know that it also affects the pest population? The likelihood of pest infestations can change depending on the climate and weather conditions. Insects are cold-blooded creatures that can’t produce their own body heat. The temperature of their surroundings affects their growth and behavior, which includes how they interact in your home.
Prime Season for Pest Infestations
Warm, sunny weather makes humans and pests happy. The birds sing their songs of joy, ants march in and out of the home, crickets happily chirp, and spiders spin their webs without a care in the world. When the weather outside is frighteningly hot, expect pest trouble. Cockroaches, ants, gnats, and spiders are some insects that enjoy hot, sunny days outdoors.
Rain, Rain Go Away
When it rains, insects throw a party for all their friends. Water creates the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, allowing them to breed on your property. Other pests also find rain quite attractive. Don’t be surprised if mosquitoes torment your unprotected property after rainfall. Other pests rush inside, seeking shelter during rainfall.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
And similar to humans, insects cringe when it’s cold outside, especially when it snows. Pests seek shelter inside of the house and often come indoors and cause major infestations before they’re spotted. Mice are one of the most common wintertime pests of concern to homeowners.
Water, Please!
Dry weather generally sends pests running indoors searching for water. Grasshoppers and spiders multiply during dry weather. The risk of pests destroying crops and vegetation increases when the weather is dry.
