Summer brings warmth, longer days and unfortunately, unwanted guests. Many households notice an increase in pest activity as temperatures rise. While most summer insects are a nuisance, some can cause hygiene problems or property damage. Therefore, we always recommend taking early action to reduce infestations.
Wasps are among the most aggressive summer insects. They build nests under eaves, in lofts or even in wall cavities. Late summer is the worst time for stings, as their natural food sources reduce and they become irritable.
Although you might spot one or two around food, the real problem is usually the nest. We strongly advise against removing nests yourself. Our trained technicians use specialist equipment and safety gear to treat active wasps’ nests quickly.
Ants become very active in warm weather. You’ll often spot them in kitchens or near bins as they hunt for food. They use pheromone trails to lead the colony to sugary or greasy crumbs.
To stop these summer insects, you must remove their food sources. Clean surfaces thoroughly and store food in sealed containers. You should also seal cracks and gaps around doors and windows. If ants persist, we can apply professional-grade bait and barriers.
Flies breed rapidly during summer. You might notice houseflies, bluebottles or even drain flies. They lay eggs on decaying food or in organic waste, which can cause hygiene issues in kitchens and bin areas.
To limit these summer insects, clean bins often and keep them tightly closed. Fix leaking taps and check for blocked drains. We also supply commercial-grade fly screens and electric fly units for homes and restaurants.
Cockroaches favour warm, humid places. Summer offers the ideal conditions for breeding. You may see them around fridges, boiler cupboards or behind kitchen units. They can contaminate food and trigger allergies.
Clean regularly and avoid leaving pet food or water bowls out overnight. Still, cockroach infestations often need professional attention. We can identify hiding spots and apply safe but effective insecticides.
Fleas thrive in the warmer months, especially in homes with pets. Even so, they can infest homes without animals, using soft furnishings to hide and lay eggs.
Vacuuming thoroughly and washing pet bedding helps manage fleas. However, once established, they can be difficult to remove. We use targeted treatments to break the flea life cycle.
Summer insects become a real problem if ignored. While prevention helps, infestations often require expert help. We’re here to assist with safe, professional pest control across homes and businesses. Call us today!
