Temperature plays a crucial role in pest behavior, directly influencing their life cycles, feeding habits, and movement patterns. Understanding how temperature changes impact pest activity can help you take preventive measures to keep your home and business pest-free.

How Temperature Affects Pests

1. Warm Temperatures (Spring and Summer)
   • Increased Pest Activity: Warm weather accelerates the metabolism and reproduction rates of pests, leading to larger infestations.
   • Common Summer Pests: Mosquitoes, ants, flies, cockroaches, and termites become highly active during this time.
   • Why They Thrive: Warm conditions provide the ideal environment for breeding and food availability.
2. Cool Temperatures (Fall and Early Winter)
   • Pests Seek Shelter: As temperatures drop, pests such as rodents, spiders, and cockroaches seek warmth indoors.
   • Migration and Nesting: Pests look for cracks, crevices, and other entry points to nest inside homes and buildings.
3. Cold Temperatures (Winter)
   • Reduced Activity: Many pests become dormant or significantly reduce their activity levels in freezing conditions.
   • Exceptions: Rodents, silverfish, and cockroaches often thrive indoors where warmth and food are available.
4. Fluctuating Temperatures (Early Spring)
   • Reactivation: Pests that were dormant during winter become active again as temperatures rise.
   • Reproduction Boost: Early spring is a key breeding period for many pests.

Pests and Extreme Weather Conditions

• Heatwaves: Increase insect infestations as pests seek water and shade.
• Heavy Rainfall: Drives pests like ants and cockroaches indoors to escape flooding.
• Droughts: Rodents and insects may invade homes in search of moisture.

Effective Pest Prevention Strategies Based on Temperature

1. Warm Weather Tips:
   • Eliminate standing water to prevent mosquito breeding.
   • Seal cracks and crevices to block ant and termite entry points.
   • Maintain proper food storage to reduce pest attraction.
2. Cool Weather Tips:
   • Inspect your home for gaps around doors and windows and seal them.
   • Keep firewood and other debris away from the house to prevent rodent nesting.
   • Use weather stripping to seal entry points.
3. Cold Weather Tips:
   • Store food in sealed containers.
   • Set up traps for rodents in problem areas.
   • Maintain regular pest inspections.
