Homeowners across the UK are being urged to take immediate action to protect their properties from an impending invasion of invasive insects. Experts have warned that swarms of pests, including flies and moths, could soon infiltrate homes, causing significant damage and distress.
Why the Sudden Surge?
The recent warm and humid weather conditions have created the perfect breeding ground for these pests. With temperatures rising, insect populations are booming, and experts fear this could lead to a widespread infestation.
How to Protect Your Home
To minimise the risk, homeowners are advised to:
- Keep windows and doors closed, especially during the evening.
- Install fly screens or mesh to prevent insects from entering.
- Use insect repellents or natural deterrents like citronella candles.
- Ensure food is stored securely and bins are tightly sealed.
The Cost of Ignoring the Warning
Ignoring these precautions could result in costly damage to property and belongings. Insects like clothes moths can ruin fabrics, while flies can contaminate food, posing health risks.
Experts stress that prevention is key, as dealing with an infestation after the fact can be both expensive and time-consuming.
