Most insects and small creatures hibernate in the winter months. This can cause problems if you find pests resting and hibernating in your loft, attic or cellar. However, as we move into spring and summer, the temperature gets warmer and as a result, leads to an increase in insect and animal activity. Did you know, Insects are cold blooded, and their metabolism is very greatly influenced by the temperature of their bodies, which temperature is almost entirely dependent on that of the surrounding environment.
