All things affect nature and its by-products. Therefore, it is true that different seasons have different reactions on humans, animals, plants, and pests. The seasonal fluctuations lead to different environmental conditions. For example, insects prefer staying in one place in winter or hibernating themselves. Due to this, insects like mice, carpenter ants, spiders, hipsters, and other rodents capture the corners and hidden areas in your home. Similarly, in summer, pests are most active outdoors, and the risk of fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes is rising.
However, if you have an open area, garden, or park near or in your house, seasonal pest control service is not just an option but a necessity. For the safety of your family members, especially children and pets, an exterminator is required to provide pest control services according to climatic demands.
How can seasonal pest control affect your brand image?
If you are a business owner or run a company, the two most important things to expand your business are a strong team and loyal customers. To ensure the safety of your team from pests, infections, or other seasonal pest diseases like Lyme, malaria, dengue, and rashes, you need to have seasonal pest control plans.
Similarly, brand image is a big concern that can only be protected by providing the right environmental conditions, adapting to change as per season, and taking necessary precautions. If the staff is not fully functional due to health conditions, it disrupts the regular flow of work and gives a misleading conception of the brand’s reputation or safety concerns.
Seasonal Conditions and Impacts
As per different seasons, different kinds of pests spread; let’s discuss them in detail-
Summer Season
Summer season is when the temperature is warm, and most insects are outdoors, especially in parks and open areas like lawns and gardens. It is a home to threats like-
- Bed bugs: Bed bugs are a nightmare due to their nature. They hide in darker areas or cover themselves in mattresses, sofa corners, clothes, shoe laces, and laundry clothes, and therefore, it becomes impossible to detect them, and their bites can create infection.
- Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are most active during summer, and their bites can create instant rashes and irritation. They suck blood and also lead to diseases like malaria, dengue. They breed on stagnant water and open uncovered wastes.
- Termites: The summer season also affects wood, and there are chances of getting termites. Termites multiply quickly, and then getting them out can become a challenge, so termite prevention services are essential.
Winter Season
In winter, pest control is required the most, as most pests are hibernating or finding a home to live indoors. A few pests that roam are-
- Cockroaches: During winter, cockroaches hide in corners and boxes.
- Rodents and bed bugs: Rodents and bed bugs are also very active during winter, as their food and comfort lie indoors. They hibernate in dark areas of your home or office and need to be treated immediately, as they tend to multiply.
- Mice and rats: Mice, rats, and other rodents hide inside your house and especially look for food items, which, with their smell and warmth, attract them.
Monsoon Season
During monsoon season, there are various risks, like
- After the monsoon, the threat of snake bites is very high, and catching and disposing of them is not possible by humans. Therefore, professional pest control services are preferred, as it can be risky for your children and pests, too.
- Insects and lizards also roam around freely after monsoon and are very uncomfortable to live with.
Conclusion
Therefore, while availing pest control for every season might sound tedious, it is, in the long run, a cost-effective solution, especially if you take an annual package. It reduces the risk of infections and rashes and is important for the safety of your children, pets, and elderly people, too.
