Wet Weather Triggers Early Pest Surges: Here’s What It Means for Your Home and Business

At Pest Control Service Limited, we believe that proactive protection begins with awareness—and this year, the signs are hard to miss.

According to the latest NPMA Bug Barometer, a mix of unusually wet weather and mild temperatures is driving early and aggressive pest activity across the UK and North America.

If you’ve noticed more insects in or around your property, you’re not alone—and now is the time to act.

 What Is the NPMA Bug Barometer?

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) regularly releases seasonal forecasts to help homeowners and businesses prepare for pest activity.

Their Bug Barometer is developed by expert entomologists who study:

• Long-term weather patterns

• Pest biology

• Seasonal trends

 Spring & Summer 2025 Forecast:

“Excess rainfall and mild winter conditions have led to increased pest emergence much earlier than normal.”

 Why Wet Weather Means More Pests

Wet, humid conditions create perfect environments for pests to breed, shelter, and thrive. Even mild winters haven’t been enough to reduce overwintering pest populations.

Common Spring-Summer 2025 Offenders:

• Ants & Termites: Damp soil accelerates nesting and tunneling. Watch for swarms or mud tubes near your foundation.

• Mosquitoes: Standing rainwater creates ideal breeding sites.

• Rodents (Rats & Mice): Fleeing waterlogged nests, they seek warmth and food in attics and basements.

• Cockroaches: Thrive in moist, indoor environments—often multiplying fast.

• Ticks & Fleas: Dense greenery from wet weather offers perfect hiding spots and increased host activity.
