How Mississauga’s Climate Affects Pest Infestations?
Climate of Mississauga is volatile in terms of seasonal change and seasonal changes are the major cause of local pest activities. Our location is in a humid continental zone, but is a little cooled by the closeness to Lake Ontario, and so our summers are hot and sticky, and our winters are cold and damp. Every stage of this weather pattern determines what pests will flourish and more so when they would make an attempt to enter the exterior of your home. To a homeowner, the first step to proper management of property is to be in the know of such patterns.
In the damp and humid summer seasons, the levels of moisture in Mississauga are very conducive to the pests such as the cockroaches, centipedes as well as the ants. Those places around the Port Credit lakefront or the Cooksville Creek are usually more humid in the air, which promotes quick insect reproduction. In case of moist air, it is easier to transfer such pests, seeking water places in your kitchen or bathroom. On the other hand, April showers occur during the period of spring and pour down the underground nests of pavement ants making them rise to the surface and end up in the foundation of your house in search of a dry area.
Worst of all is the thaw-freeze cycles that prevailed in late February and March in Mississauga. When ice is melting and freezing it may widen little cracks that you have in your masonry or wooden door frames. These are microscopic holes which develop into pest highways.
