As the vibrant colours of spring emerge across Melbourne, so do various pests and insects eager to invade our homes. While the warmer weather brings joy, it also signals the arrival of common pests that can disrupt our living spaces. At Amazon Pest Exterminators, we understand the importance of being prepared for these unwelcome guests. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the main pests to watch for this spring, how to prepare your home, and when to seek professional residential pest control services.
Common Springtime Pests in Melbourne.
As the temperatures rise, several pests become active, seeking shelter and food in residential areas. Here are some of the main culprits you might encounter:
1. Ants
These industrious insects often emerge in search of food and can quickly invade your kitchen.
2. Cockroaches
Known for their resilience, cockroaches thrive in warmer conditions and are notorious for spreading disease.
3. Spiders
With spring comes an increase in spider activity, as they seek mates and create webs in and around homes.
4. Rodents
Mice and rats are common in spring, especially if they find easy access to food and nesting sites.
5. Termites
These wood-destroying pests can cause significant damage if left untreated and often become more active as temperatures rise.
Tips for Preparing Your Home.
While you can take steps to prevent pest infestations, it’s essential to remember that professional pest control may be necessary for serious issues or routine check-ups. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home for springtime pests:
1. Seal Entry Points
Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, and openings that pests could use to enter. Seal these entry points with caulk or weather stripping to keep unwanted guests outside.
2. Keep Your Home Clean
Regularly clean your kitchen and dining areas, wiping down surfaces to remove food particles that attract pests. Store food in airtight containers and take out the trash regularly.
3. Maintain Your Yard
As carpet beetle larvae grow, they shed their skins, which can accumulate in areas where they are feeding. Finding these shed skins, along with small, round eggs or empty egg cases, can indicate an infestation. These remnants are often discovered in cracks, crevices, or behind furniture.
4. Check for Water Sources
Pests are often drawn to moisture. Repair leaky faucets, clear gutters, and ensure there are no standing water sources around your home.
5. Regular Pest Inspections
Schedule routine pest inspections with Amazon Pest Exterminators professional pest control service. This proactive approach can help identify and address potential pest issues before they become infestations.
