The Glass House Mountains are renowned for their lush landscapes and stunning scenery, but the beauty of the rainy season can bring with it an unwelcome surge in pest activity. As the humidity rises and the ground becomes saturated, many pests seek shelter and breeding grounds within the comfort of your home.
Don't let the rainy season dampen your spirits or allow pests to take over your sanctuary. Luke's Termite and Pest Control is here to provide you with effective solutions and preventative measures to keep your Glass House Mountains home pest-free during the wet months.
Why Pests Invade During the Rainy Season:
- Seeking Shelter: Heavy rainfall and flooding force many pests, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, and rodents, to seek dry refuge indoors.
- Moisture Attraction: Increased humidity and dampness create ideal breeding conditions for many pests, particularly termites, silverfish, and mosquitoes.
- Food Sources: Food spills and crumbs become more attractive to pests in humid conditions, as they provide a source of moisture as well as nutrients.
