The temperature rise during the spring and summer has a huge impact on pests. This temperature change affects the behavior and development of common pests around your home. However, there is a point when the temperature is too high for certain pests. Take fire ants, for example, these insects will go deep underground to seek shelter from the heat while other pests will seek shelter inside of your home. Insects and other pests are extremely active until the tipping point of being too hot is reached, and once this occurs it is very common for these pests to make their way into your air conditioned home. This is why summer pest control is essential for keeping you and your family safe from these insects.
