Spring is perhaps the most important time of the year to tackle bugs. One reason is that they are most vulnerable in spring, which makes it easy to control pests. In Winter, many insects hibernate, while they breed in the summer months.
Preventing pest invasions at the right time of the year in South Africa could be beneficial. Homeowners who control pests regularly usually won't see infestations. There are many benefits to controlling insects not only during the spring, but throughout the year.
Do bugs hibernate in winter?
Bugs that hibernate in winter can be hard to get rid of during the cold months of the year. It's a good idea to find out what bugs typically infest homes and buildings in your area and whether they hibernate.
1. Insects can survive frigid temperatures, but they survive best when the weather is stable.
2. Most insects get shelter and food throughout the winter months in a wide range of micro-habitats.
3. Bugs who stay in colder climates stay hidden in the landscape during winter. They do this in various stages of their life cycles.
4. Some bugs adapt to cold weather by dying off. It is the larvae that survive during the cold weather.
5. Other insects enter a hibernation-like stage.
Should I only use pest control in spring and summer?
