Clik here to view.Just like humans, pests have three basic needs: water, food and shelter. When one of these things is compromised due to weather conditions, they will typically move inside your house to find what they are missing. In Louisiana, we are typically dealing with hot, humid weather, as well as rainfall. Because we have these year-round conditions, it can be a little bit easier to deal with pests when you know what to look out for. Here are some weather related issues you may want to be aware of when dealing with pests.
Unfortunately, moist, warm weather creates the perfect conditions for pests to grow. Ants are especially productive in these temperatures, reproducing and multiplying in numbers. High rain levels may also force ants and other pests to relocate in large groups to find new homes and more food.
Dry conditions also create pest problems because their is not enough moisture for bugs to survive and reproduce. To solve this problem, pest will take up residence in your home.
Be sure to watch out for bees, spiders, mice, rats, ants, crickets, ladybugs and cockroaches during periods of excessive rain or heat. If you end up with a pest problem, call Extermatrim Exterminating (800-620-PEST) immediately.
