Seven Summertime Household Pests to Be on the Lookout For

Posted on

As the summer sun warms the air, it brings with it household pests that make life uncomfortable and could even pose health dangers. Getting rid of and preventing pests is of the utmost importance in maintaining a safe and healthy home environment, which is why Natural Ginesis created all-natural, chemical-free pest control products designed to tackle these unwelcome guests effectively. We'll explore the common household pests you might encounter during the summer months, why they invade your home, and why our non-toxic pest control is crucial for your family's well-being.

Why Are There Bugs in My House in the Summer?

With warmer weather comes the return of the bugs that disappeared all winter. Summer is a time of increased pest activity for several reasons, including:

  • Warm Temperatures: Many insects thrive in warm conditions, which accelerates their life cycles and increases their populations. The more pests there are, the more likely they are to show up inside your home.
  • Shelter: Summer often brings higher humidity and more rainfall, causing pests to head inside to get out of the weather. They often find their way into homes through small cracks and openings.
  • Food Availability: With open windows and increased trips in and out of the house, food scraps and crumbs become more accessible. Pests pick up on these and come indoors to get their share.

Common Household Pests in Summer

There is a wide range of insects that will bug you during the summer, and they’ll vary some by region. Here are a few of the many pests you may find in your home during the warmer months:

  1. Ants: Ants are one of the most persistent pests, especially in the summer. They enter homes in search of food and water, often forming long trails across floors and countertops. While they are more of a nuisance than a danger, their presence can be alarming and unsanitary.
  2. Cockroaches: Cockroaches are attracted to warm, humid environments. They are not only unsightly but can also spread diseases and trigger allergies and asthma attacks. These pests often hide in dark, damp areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
  3. Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are notorious for their itchy bites and the potential to transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus. They breed in standing water, making it crucial to eliminate any sources of stagnant water around your home.
  4. Flies: Houseflies are attracted to food and waste, and their constant buzzing can be extremely annoying. More importantly, they can spread bacteria and pathogens, contaminating your food and surfaces.
  5. Mites: Mites, including biting mites and scabies, are microscopic pests that can cause significant discomfort. Biting mites feed on blood, leading to itchy, red welts, while scabies burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and rashes.
  6. Bed Bugs: Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood, typically at night. They hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks in walls, making them difficult to eradicate. Their bites can cause itchy welts and lead to secondary infections from scratching.
  7. Fleas and Ticks: These insects are known for attaching to both pets and humans. Fleas cause intense itching and skin reactions. Ticks latch onto us and drink blood, which may lead to the transmission of illnesses like Lyme disease.

The Perils of Common Pest Control Products

Traditional pest control methods often rely on chemical pesticides that can be harmful to humans, pets, and the environment. These products can contain toxic ingredients that pose various health risks. Inhaling chemical pesticides can lead to respiratory problems, including asthma and bronchitis. Direct contact with chemical pesticides can cause skin irritation, rashes, and burns. Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals has been linked to serious health issues such as cancer, neurological damage, and hormonal imbalances. Chemical pesticides can contaminate soil, water, and air, harming wildlife and beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

Why Choose Natural Pest Control Products?

At Natural Ginesis, we believe in providing safe, effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for pest control. Our products, like Kleen Green®, offer numerous benefits that the usual pesticides lack. Our non-toxic pest control products are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring they are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. We use natural ingredients that are just as effective at eliminating pests without the risks associated with traditional pesticides. The enzymes in Kleen Green affect the exoskeleton of insects, targeting a specific protein that isn’t found in the human body. While chemical pest controls use ingredients that affect humans and bugs, Kleen Green’s makeup has no harmful side effects. Like all Natural Ginesis products, Kleen Green breaks down naturally, reducing environmental pollution and protecting beneficial organisms. Kleen Green’s natural pesticide properties are highly effective against a wide range of pests, including mites, bed bugs, ants, and more. It is safe for use around children and pets and can be applied to various surfaces to eliminate and prevent infestations.

Effective and Non-Toxic Pest Control Made Easy

Natural Ginesis has several products on the market to help curb your pest population. Available in a concentrated form, Kleen Green® can be used in a variety of ways, including diluting it into a bottle of non-toxic pest control spray, adding it to laundry, or even using it around the house’s foundation. Here are ideas on how to use Kleen Green for different pest problems:

  • Ants and Cockroaches: Kleen Green can be sprayed directly on ants and cockroaches, as well as their trails and hiding spots, to eliminate them and prevent their return.
  • Mites and Scabies: Kleen Green helps in breaking down the exoskeletons of mites and scabies, effectively controlling these pests without harsh chemicals.
  • Bed Bugs: Regular application of Kleen Green on mattresses, bed frames, and other infested areas can help eradicate bed bugs and their eggs.

Another excellent product from our all-natural line of pest prevention is the Natural Ginesis Mint Spray. This is ideal for getting rid of and preventing lice with head lice treatment, bed bugs, mites, ants, flies, and other insects. It’s safe to spray directly on your body with the added benefit of making you smell fresh! We also carry diatomaceous earth, a powdered substance made from silica that has been linked to strong repellent properties when it comes to insects.

Summer brings a delightful array of activities and warmth, but it also invites a host of household pests. By understanding why these pests invade your home and choosing non-toxic pest control solutions like those offered by Natural Ginesis, you can protect your family, pets, and the environment. Our all-natural products provide effective and safe alternatives to chemical pesticides, ensuring a pest-free and healthy living space.
