The Rise of Insects During Summer – Protect Your Business from Infestations

How Summer Insect Activity Affects Businesses in Leinster

As temperatures rise, so does the activity of flies, ants, cockroaches, wasps, and other pests, posing a major threat to businesses across Leinster, Ireland. The summer months create ideal conditions for insects to breed and spread, increasing the risk of infestations in restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, factories, warehouses, and farms.

Without proactive pest management, businesses can face health hazards, stock contamination, reputational damage, and legal non-compliance. At Commercial Pet Control, we provide seasonal pest control solutions to keep your business pest-free all summer long.

Why Do Insect Infestations Increase in Summer?

☀ Warmer temperatures accelerate breeding cycles, causing rapid population growth.
☀ Increased food availability in commercial settings attracts pests.
☀ More open windows and doors allow pests easier entry into buildings.
☀ Moisture and humidity create ideal conditions for insects like cockroaches and flies.
