Why Critters Come Inside During the Summer Months

As the temperatures rise, critters tend to find their way inside homes and businesses. But why does this happen — and more importantly, how can you keep them outside where they belong? Keep reading to discover some of the most common reasons critters move inside during the summer months and what you can do to keep them out.

To Escape the Heat

Just like humans, most wildlife look for places to escape the summer heat. Whether it's a cool spot in the garage or your air-conditioned kitchen, many pests are just looking for a comfortable place to survive the summer months.

For Safety and Shelter

Your home is a safe place that shelters you from storms and other potential threats. Critters are smart, and they'll soon discover that it's also a great place for them to stay safe from predators and the elements outside. 

Easy Access to Food and Water

Tiny crumbs, open containers, and cups of water provide a potential feast for pests inside your home. During the summer months, they search for the most accessible spots for food and water, and oftentimes, indoor spaces are the perfect places.

Safe Place to Raise Their Young

Summertime is the perfect time for some wildlife to breed and reproduce and pests learn quickly that homes and businesses are the perfect places to raise their young. This leads to larger populations of critters finding their way inside homes and businesses.
