Pest Watch: Why Pests Spike in Spring (and How We Solve It)

As South Africa shifts from winter into the warmth of spring and early summer, pest activity rises sharply. October is prime time for ants marching across kitchen counters, cockroaches seeking moisture, flies breeding near food sources and rodents nesting in roof spaces. These common pests thrive in the warmer, humid conditions that mark the start of the season: making now the perfect time to act.

Why Pests Multiply in Spring

Spring’s mild temperatures and increased rainfall create ideal breeding conditions for most household and commercial pests. Dormant insect eggs hatch, while rodents and cockroaches search for food and shelter after winter. Left untreated, these small intrusions can quickly turn into full-blown infestations that damage property, contaminate food and pose health risks to your family or staff.
