Seasonal pests

Just like fruits and vegetables there are pests that thrive more during certain months/seasons:

Spring & Summer Pests (April – September)

• Wasps

• Ants

• Midges & Mosquitoes

• House Flies

Autumn & Winter Pests (October – March)

• Cluster Flies

• Rats & Mice

• Spiders

This is why having an annual contract is very beneficial to businesses and sometimes even domestic properties. I don’t know if it’s a British thing or just a human thing, but quite often we tend to procrastinate until what was a small issue becomes a real problem before addressing it. This is not only a risky strategy, but can also be a costly one in more ways that one!

All creatures have a very basic set of natural instincts: find food, water and a place to breed. So when one lone ant stumbles across your kitchen, they are going to leave their pheromone trail all over the place to invite the rest of the colony to join them in a little as 2 minutes. That small problem becomes a very big problem, potentially leading to health risks and property damage.

Pest Control companies often offer a range of contracts to suit your specific needs; from 1-12 monthly visits, to weekly visits and covering a variety of different vermin.
