However, as we move into spring and summer, the temperature gets warmer and as a result, leads to an increase in insect and animal activity. Did you know, Insects are cold blooded, and their metabolism is very greatly influenced by the temperature of their bodies, which temperature is almost entirely dependent on that of the surrounding environment. This is why wasps and hornets, also come out during Summer, causing damages and irritation if left untreated. TP Pest Control, offer hornet and wasp removal ( throughout the south coast.

Ants: Ants are common across the whole country, during the summer months, particularly around homes and gardens. They can be a pain to deal with, as they are attracted to sweet and sugary substances.
Flies: Flies are another common summer pest, and they can be particularly problematic around areas where there is food waste or animal excrement but, on the whole, don’t cause many issues. They usually indicate poor sanitary conditions.
