☀️ Why do pests seem to appear everywhere during the summer?
Warm temperatures speed up insect activity, breeding cycles, and population growth. That means pests can develop faster, reproduce more often, and become much more noticeable around homes and businesses.
Three pests we see ramping up activity this time of year:
🦟 Mosquitoes – Summer rain and standing water create the perfect breeding grounds.
🐜 Ants – Colonies are at peak activity as workers search for food and water.
🪵 Termites – Warm, humid conditions help termite colonies stay active and continue feeding on wood.
If pests are making themselves at home this summer, Petri Pest Control is here to help keep them in check.
