Bed bugs
Bedbugs multiply rapidly in the summer season. The optimum temperature of bed bugs is 18- 20 degrees Celsius. So, during the months of June and July, they will multiply and spread uncontrollably. Preventative pest control is one of the best methods to get rid of bedbugs before infestation. Washcloths and bedding in hot water frequently and store them in plastic bags which helps to keep bed bugs away.
Mosquitoes
