Understanding Seasonal Pest Threats in Odisha

Odisha’s warm, humid, and monsoon-influenced climate creates ideal conditions for a range of pests. Here’s what to watch for in each season:

Spring & Summer

  • Termites: Thrive in humidity, causing wood damage.

  • Ants and Cockroaches: Forage for food and moisture inside homes.

  • Mosquitoes: Multiply rapidly, especially where water stagnates.

Monsoon

  • Mosquitoes and Flies: Explode in numbers due to standing water.

  • Rodents: Seek shelter indoors, increasing contamination risks.

  • Reptiles and Insects (e.g., snakes, scorpions): More likely to enter homes for dry shelter.

  • Sucking Pests (Whitefly, Jassids, Aphids): Peak as crops and vegetation flourish.

Autumn & Winter

  • Rodents: Move indoors for warmth and food.

  • Spiders and Bugs: Seek indoor habitats as outdoor conditions become less favorable.

  • Bed Bugs: Take advantage of increased travel and closed environments.

How to Prepare Your Home for Seasonal Pests

1. Seal All Entry Points

  • Check for Gaps: Inspect and seal cracks in walls, windows, and doors.

  • Repair Screens: Ensure all window and door screens are intact and fit tightly.

  • Install Door Sweeps: Prevent crawling insects from entering.

2. Control Moisture

  • Fix Leaks: Repair any leaking pipes, taps, or drains immediately.

  • Keep Spaces Dry: Use dehumidifiers and ventilate damp areas.

  • Clear Gutters: Prevent water buildup that attracts mosquitoes and termites.

3. Maintain Cleanliness

  • Declutter: Reduce hiding spots for pests.

  • Store Food Securely: Use airtight containers and clean up spills promptly.

  • Regular Waste Disposal: Take out garbage daily and use bins with tight lids.

4. Use Natural & Preventive Remedies

  • Neem, Clove, and Cinnamon Oils: Their scents repel many insects and reptiles.

  • Camphor and Dried Neem Leaves: Place in cupboards to deter cockroaches and ants1.

  • Supportive Plants: Grow pest-repelling plants near entryways.
