In the vast and varied Australian climate, we find ourselves sharing our beautiful surroundings with a wide array of creatures. But when these critters make their way into our homes, they’re not always the most welcome houseguests. Here at Blue Chip Termite & Pest Control, we understand the struggle that many Australians face with pests.
Understanding Pest Seasonality
Just like us humans, pests also have their own life cycles and patterns that correlate with the changing seasons. Some pests are more active in the hotter months, like flies, ants, and mosquitoes, whilst others, like mice and rats, seek refuge in our homes during the cooler months. Understanding these seasonal variations is critical in planning an effective pest control strategy.
Summer: A Time of Heightened Activity
During the Australian summer months of December to February, insect activity significantly increases. Termites, ants, spiders, and cockroaches are most active during these hot, humid months. This period is optimal for homeowners to engage in preventative pest control measures to keep these critters at bay.
Autumn: Preparing for the Cool
As we head into the cooler months of March to May, pests like rats and mice begin seeking shelter indoors. Implementing effective pest control strategies in autumn is crucial to prevent these rodents from taking up residence in your home as the weather cools.
Winter: Maintaining Control
In the winter months of June to August, while pest activity is generally lower, maintaining your pest control strategies is still critical. Continuing to monitor and treat for pests like rodents and some species of termites can help you avoid unexpected invasions.
Spring: Breeding Season
With the arrival of spring from September to November, pests like spiders, ants, and termites are often in their breeding phase. This is the perfect time for a comprehensive pest control treatment, helping to prevent infestations before these pests have a chance to multiply.
