Why do pests increase during the hot summer months?

Heat and humidity speed up breeding and feeding, and pests move into cooler, damper spaces like homes and drains.

Outside is harsh, so indoors becomes the better option. More heat means faster growth, which is why small problems explode in summer.

Which pests are most active in winter vs. summer?

Summer favours cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, flies and termites. In winter, rodents move in for warmth and food, while indoor ants and cockroaches stay active.

Winters in Bahrain are mild, so pests rarely disappear. They just change.

How do rodents get inside villas during cooler weather?

Through small gaps around AC pipes, roof edges, vents and cable openings.

A mouse can squeeze through about 6 mm, and a rat through about 2 cm. Scratching in the ceiling at night is the usual first sign.

Monthly or quarterly pest control?

Quarterly suits most homes. Monthly suits restaurants, food businesses and active infestations.

The right schedule depends on your property, garden, past problems and risk. A good company sets it after an inspection, not by guesswork.
