Causes And Ways to Control Monsoon Insects

Many of us may spend the rainy season relaxing with a cup of tea and some freshly prepared snacks. On the other hand, many people only notice pests and insects invading their homes during this time of year. Pest activity increases during the monsoon because of the warm and humid climate. As a result, it’s critical to hire the best pest control service before the season begins.

While taking safeguards by employing expert pest management services remains the best option, there are a few other options. However, first, let’s look at the causes of increased pest activity during the monsoon season, as well as the most prevalent pests that hatch at this time. You can plan your pest treatment properly after you know which pests are likely to breed over the season.

Most common monsoon insects

As mentioned above, the main cause of increased pest infestation during the rainy season is the humid and warm climate. So, moving forward, here is a list of featuring the most common pests breeding during the season:

For shelter: Ants, Mice, and Rats

To breed quickly: Termites, Cockroaches, and Mosquitoes

7 Most common hide spots for monsoon insects in your home

1. Artificial ceilings
2. Garden
3. Food storage spaces such as kitchen cupboards have stagnant water in and around them.
4. Bins for waste disposal, rooms, and regions
5. Any warm, moist, or difficult-to-reach regions

5 Ways to keep monsoon insects away

Talking about the simple tips you can try to keep these insects at bay are:

1. If there is any stagnant water, remove it
2. Remove the litter
3. Place camphor in cupboards
4. Maintain a clean and dry bathroom
5. Declutter your home

1. If there is any stagnant water, remove it

   Many harmful pests, especially mosquitoes, are attracted to stagnant water. These mosquitoes are known to transmit diseases, including malaria and dengue fever. Always keep an eye out for stagnant water near your home or garden and eliminate it as soon as possible before it attracts bugs.

2. Remove the litter

   To keep your home pest-free, clean out the waste in and around it. Garbage attracts a variety of pests, including rodents, therefore it is critical to maintaining the environment clean, especially during the rainy season. Dirty places attract not only rodents but also a variety of other dangerous pests.

3. Place camphor in cupboards

   Camphor is a naturally occurring bug repellent. During the monsoon, everything appears to be wet and moist. Keeping camphor in the cupboards would be an efficient way to keep bugs away from your garments during this season. Also, never store damp garments in the cupboards; instead, dry them entirely before storing them.

4. Maintain a clean and dry bathroom

   Pests such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, and other insects thrive in wet bathrooms. Therefore, it is critical to maintaining them dry at all times to avoid a large pest infestation. After each use, you should clean and dry the bathroom. To combat the unusually unpleasant odor in the restroom, consider utilizing an exhaust fan. The dry bathroom is also suitable for children and the elderly.

5. Declutter your home

   Pests thrive in a congested environment. Unwanted cardboard cartons and newspapers should be discarded. Reorganize your home, especially the kitchen, and store food in airtight containers. Give your pets (if you have any) a regular bath and remember to collect their waste as soon as possible.

Well, these tips are only going to help you maintain the cleanliness of your home. Thus, it is essential that you opt for a pest control service and let the professionals cover all the possible causes that can encourage the breeding of pests in your home. As the most common pests and insects to attack your home during the monsoon season are cockroaches, mosquitoes, and rats, HiCare has a scientifically designed pest treatment for each type of pest.
