During the summer, we experience a number of different conditions that can make living
at home comfortable and enjoyable, and some that can make it difficult and tiring. On one
hand, enjoying the warmth and the sun is great, but the humidity that comes with the warmth
is rarely welcomed with open arms. With all of these factors in mind, it’s no surprise that your
waste can experience adverse effects as well. This may be why you’re experiencing more
bugs in your area when the humidity is higher -- let’s examine why:
Moisture
Many bugs are simply attracted to moisture, as it helps them thrive. This is one of the reasons
you’re going to find more bugs in a basement at times -- they love the moist climate! Knowing
this, it’s obvious to assume that because the air is dense and moist from the humidity, more
bugs will come out to play. This can lead them to scurry through your property, into your home,
and around your waste
Smells
Because of the nature of summer, hot air and humidity can send odors from your waste into
the air, which is likely very pleasing to certain bugs. Pests like these that are attracted to human
food will be able to smell the garbage as the sun makes it hot, and the scents travel through the
moist air. This is just another reason as to why proper storage and effective cleanup is imperative
during the warmer months of the summer.
Should you experience any of these symptoms at home, make sure to have your waste picked
up in a timely manner, and out of sight from other pests and bugs. The better you have it sealed
in bags and in your garbage can, the less chance you have of bugs living around your area
waiting for a snack.
