We are often asked what pest control’s busiest time is. And to be honest, this is a difficult question to answer. It’s hard to say when our busiest time is. This is because we’re most active when pests are most active, which, when you consider the diverse range of pests we tackle, is pretty much 24/7 every day of the year. In our experience, people ask this question simply because they want to know when it’s best to hire us. They may run a business, and want to know which period they are most likely to be affected by pests.
Pest control’s busiest time is basically all the time!
The truth is that spring, summer, autumn and winter are all pest control’s busiest times. It really depends on which pests are most active at that time, or whether there is a specific outbreak. That being said, during spring and summer, pest activity does rise dramatically. This is because many pests emerge from hibernation or dormancy. And, as it gets gradually warmer, many species have a breeding boom. Their eggs hatch during this period, which leads to a fresh wave of pest infestations. In summer, you’ll generally start to see pests more frequently.
By the same token, we may be equally busy during autumn and winter. During this time, some pests like rodents seek shelter. In addition to this, insects may also be looking for a place to hide, which often means these pests come into your home. Previously, you may not have had a pest problem. Now, you could be having to deal with an infestation.
Bottom line is that pests must be handled immediately
From ants and moths in spring, and wasps and flies in summer, to squirrels in autumn and bed bugs in winter, there is plenty to keep us busy. Then there are pigeons, cockroaches, rodents and year-round fleas that are a nuisance at any point. As you can see, it’s hard to pinpoint when pest control’s busiest time is. We are equally as busy during warmer and cold months.
At the end of the day, it really depends on the customer‘s needs. Don’t worry about whether or not we’re busy, worry about your pest issue. The reason why we say this is because the longer you put off the problem, the worse it gets. In summer pests can breed at an exponential rate. They will lay eggs, and the problem will spiral. If it’s winter, an infinite number of pests can enter your property. These pets will also hide away during winter, and start breeding as soon as it’s warm again. In fact, you may be completely unaware of dormant pest issues at this time of year.
