These are the most common summer pests that you should avoid

Mosquitoes

Let’s start with one of the most annoying insects in the summer season. Mosquitoes are one of the most frequent pests in summer. High temperatures, humidity and the presence of stagnant water in lakes or even swimming pools mean that their proliferation can be rapid.

Making timely control of the areas where these insects can reproduce is of vital importance. Not only to prevent annoying bites but also because of the diseases that certain species can transmit. Let’s not forget that many of these mosquitoes can, with just a bite, cause an allergic reaction.

Therefore, remaining alert to any areas with standing water is essential to its control. Likewise, what is recommended to protect our spaces, just as we do to prevent pests in spring, will be:

• use mosquito nets
• Close doors and windows when proper ventilation has been carried out
• Use natural repellents to keep them away and keep the environment fresh and safe.

Flies

Flies are another of the insects that can reproduce in large numbers in summer, becoming a nuisance in every way, as well as another active source of diseases such as salmonella and E.coli.

In addition, an aggravating factor is their reproductive capacity: in just 30 days they can lay more than 500 eggs, so it is interesting that they do not spread in your rooms.

However, it is very useful to remember some tips for pest control in the particular case of flies:

• Keep all areas clean, especially those where you store food.
• Make sure you take out the garbage continuously so that it is not a focus of attraction for them and close the organic waste bag well.
• Use mosquito nets on the windows to prevent them from sneaking into your spaces.
• Properly disinfect all areas of your property, especially the kitchen, the areas most prone to moisture and water deposits.

 Ants

Another of the most frequent pests in summer is ants. They are insects that live in colonies and we can find them practically everywhere, so it is quite difficult to avoid them. They tend to be attracted to food, especially the sweetest, so it is essential that you properly protect all the food that may be within their reach.

Thanks to their pheromones, they are able to leave a perfect path for others to follow and they can easily find a place to find food. That is why the techniques to eliminate them are usually varied: from covering the access holes to the colony, sealing cracks, or cleaning all surfaces, to using products with active ingredients to eradicate them.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most unpleasant insect pests in summer and they tend to cause more rejection. They are as common in summer as in the rainiest or coldest seasons and it is necessary to carry out strict hygiene to avoid them.

There are many practical recommendations to eliminate cockroaches from different living spaces, such as the use of aromatic plants such as rosemary or baking soda with sugar. Likewise, a good pest control service like SCS Group Integrated Services could help you in serious cases, and much more so when summer makes them more present in your facilities or business.

Wasps

Among the most common and most fearful summer pests are wasps. We all know that the wasp sting is very painful and that for some it can be very annoying. These insects are also attracted to different types of food, but the sweetest are their favorites.

It is necessary to act with caution in the presence of a wasp and even more so if you are facing a swarm. Going to professionals to eliminate these insects is something that you should take into high consideration if you see that their presence is increasing.

Rodents

Another of the most common summer pests, which are also extremely annoying and dangerous due to their ability to transmit diseases, and even because of how aggressive they can be, is rats. The uncontrolled reproduction of these animals is an aspect to be avoided at all costs, since they can consume large quantities of food, contaminating everything they can invade.

Do not forget to take extreme precautions so that this does not happen by carrying out good waste control and correctly storing food in your pantry and fridge to achieve complete control of one of the most frequent pests in summer.
