It’s midwinter, and it’s freezing outside, and you feel quite relieved that insect activity seemed off around. However, then suddenly, you noticed these lines of ants making their way into your home and on your wall, just marching out of nowhere.
The truth is, ants never really get dormant even during the harshest weather. Instead, they venture into warm homes to survive the cold, nest and re-establish their colonies.
Ants are relentless, yet are predictable. Thus, this gives you quite the advantage on how to stop and prevent them from infesting your home.
What and …
Do you ever wonder why suddenly bugs are coming rampant in your house when in fact it’s winter, and bugs should be off hibernating somewhere? Not all insects go dormant during winter.
Often, people ask if pest control is necessary during winter. Yes, it is! It’s important to know that NOT all pests retreat to their safe abode and disturb us no more. Most notably, many insects would still be around even during the harshest of the cold weather.
It’s a common misconception for most people that when winter season comes in, the pests of the warmer months have left. Though there might be a massive change in pest activity upon the beginning of the cold months, pests, still a lot of them, don’t go dormant in winter. One of them is rodents, that is why you must remain extra watchful of these home-damaging pests.
When the winter comes, most wildlife and insects hibernate to survive the cold and hinder themselves from starving during the cold months. It might be a relief for most people, but as much as you’ve never thought, winter doesn’t mean pest activity goes into pause. Other pests are in their desperate need to enter homes for warmth, shelter, and food.
A large number of animals and insects follow us indoors when temperatures drop. Surprising as it may seem, autumn and winter are the most pest-infested seasons of the year. Some pests may have been active all year long, and pest activities tend to worsen during these cold months.
Along with many other insects and wildlife that invade Australian households are destructive termites or termed as the “white ants.”
Birds are beautiful animals in Australia, but they can also be quite a pain when they start nesting on roofs and gathering in such noisy flocks.
Summer might be over, but if you thought you were finally relieved from pests, you’re wrong. Even as days are starting to cool, pests remain unstoppable, also become more aggressive as the cold, harsh winter season is ahead. The beginning of the autumn season might only be another time to battle with pests.
Autumn is finally here. It is lovely seeing nature’s beautiful transition with trees changing from lush green to brown. However, what might be scenic for most of us turns out as well the time to be extra watchful of invading pests.
