Introduction
Spring is a time of renewal but unfortunately, it’s also when many pests come out of hiding. As temperatures rise, insects and rodents become more active, looking for food, water, and shelter. If you’re not prepared, your home could quickly become a target.
Let’s look at the most common spring pests in Rajkot and surrounding regions and how to keep them out with expert tips from Rapid Pest Control.
