Pest control services are well known to deal with all sorts of pest issues, from termites to bats and more. However, these pests aren’t an all-year type of issue. Some occur more commonly in specific seasons than others, and others may not be a problem at all up until the few weeks during the year that the pests love to spawn. As such, knowing your pest control needs for your commercial or residential properties throughout the year is vital if you want to maximise such a service to keep your properties safe from pest problems.
That being said, here are the pest issues you can expect throughout each month of the year in the UK:
January and February
In the first two months of the year, you can expect high levels of mice and rats simply because these rodents love to hide in warm places such as our buildings. Cockroaches are also significant problems here, so expect to find these pests rummaging and scurrying on your floors and walls even throughout the year. At this point, the spider season has already ended, which started around October.
March, April, and May
March is the beginning of nesting birds which can last through the months until September. It is also the beginning of the invasion of insects, where ants are the first of their kind to come out. This is followed by high levels of cloth moths that continue well into April and May, putting your fabrics at risk of being eaten. Along with those posts, rats, mice, and cockroaches remain a nuisance. Around May also emerges a pest everyone loves to hate: wasps.
June, July, and August
Throughout June and July, cloth moths will continue to exist, although slowly subsiding in numbers. However, other issues like fleas, roaches, and bed bugs will be prevalent. Other issues like wasps, ants, and all the other pests mentioned previously will remain. Unfortunately, some of these issues, such as the dreaded wasps, will worsen. Despite that, there is still some good news: house flies start to die off in August.
September and OctoberÂ
As the months get colder, insects will start to disappear. Issues like ants and flies will end here, although other insects like wasps will still fly around. Unfortunately, for all arachnophobes out there, September is the start of the spider season, which worsens during October. Other issues such as rats and roaches will continue to be a problem and worsen as they head into properties to enjoy warmer environments.
November and December
By now, wasps and ants will have disappeared entirely, although spiders will still stick around. Issues like rats and birds will become more prevalent as they find shelter in properties to stay warm, which continues well into December. Fortunately, in December, spider levels drop, and cloth moths will also disappear.
Conclusion
As you can see, some pests like spiders and moths only appear at specific months of the year, while issues like birds, mice, and cockroaches remain a nuisance throughout the year. Despite that, we implore you to carefully strategise with pest control services to get the right services at specific months of the year. This way, you can continue operating your business or living in your home with peace of mind knowing that whatever the pest is ready to annoy you, pest control is there and ready to tackle them.
