      How To Deal With Summer Pests

      How To Deal With Summer Pests

      Published 07/15/2024 | Posted by Arda Clark

      For many people, summer is supposed to be the ideal time to relax. Unfortunately, summer also comes with a few annoyances — namely, pests and overbearing heat. Fortunately, if they’re dealt with effectively, you can still enjoy your summer.

      Different types of bugs have different living conditions. That can make it hard to cover for every single type, but it becomes easier if you know why they’re coming. Dealing with fruit flies and dust mites can be made easier by simply cleaning, but there are also more specific things you can do. Fruit flies are attracted to overripe fruits, and dust mites like high humidity. There’s also a trick for mosquitoes — they can’t fly well in windy weather, so you can use fans as a substitute to deter them.

      As for the stifling heat, it may be that some rooms are hotter than others. In fact, this is probably the case even if your AC isn’t on — but it’s especially the case if your AC is on and there’s a problem with it. Your ducts may not be properly sealed, or the fan may not be working right. If applicable, direct more cool air to upstairs areas, since the heat rises. The heat can also cause issues for doors, as heat and humidity can cause wood to expand. This could make your doors stick or jam. You may need to adjust weather stripping, or possibly even shave the door down.
