As we move through 2022, many Australians are relieved that COVID-19 is no longer a major disruption to daily life and work. However, extreme weather patterns around the world—colder winters, hotter summers and unpredictable seasonal changes—have raised new concerns.
So what will spring look like in Australia this year? Will it be warmer, cooler, wetter or drier? While no one can say for sure, history tells us that unusual climate conditions often lead to increased pest activity.
And pests are something none of us want in our homes or workplaces.
Why Pests Become More Active With Weather Changes
As environmental conditions shift, many species in the animal kingdom become more active—and pests are no exception. Warmer temperatures, humidity changes and increased food availability can all contribute to higher pest movement during spring.
Pests come in many forms, but they all have one thing in common: they’re unwelcome.
Common Household and Workplace Pests
- Crawling insects such as termites, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs and spiders
- Flying insects including flies, mosquitoes and bees
- Rodents, which seek food and shelter indoors
Some pests are simply a nuisance, while others pose serious risks. Termites can cause extensive structural damage, while spiders and mosquitoes can present health concerns.
Pest Control Starts With a Clean Environment
While pests can’t be completely eliminated, they can be effectively managed. Prevention is always the first and most important step.
1. Keep Floors and Surfaces Clean
Pests are attracted to dirt, food residue and moisture. Regular professional cleaning of floor coverings—whether carpet, rugs, timber or tiles—helps remove the conditions pests thrive in.

2. Don’t Leave Food Sources Behind
Crumbs, spills and food scraps are a banquet for pests. Always clean eating areas thoroughly and dispose of food waste properly in sealed bins.
3. Use Professional Pest Management Services
