Eid ul Adha & Rising Temperatures: A Recipe for Pest Outbreaks – Here's How to Stay Protected

As Eid ul Adha approaches amidst soaring temperatures across Pakistan, Urban Pest Management (UPM) Pakistan urges communities to stay vigilant against a silent but serious threat: a rapid surge in urban pest populations.

🌡️ Why This Eid Needs Special Attention

Every year, UPM observes a significant spike in pest activity following Eid ul Adha. The reason? A perfect storm of:

• Animal offal, blood waste, and meat remnants
• Open dumping and delayed sanitation
• Extreme summer temperatures accelerating pest breeding

Flies, cockroaches, ants, and rodents are not just nuisances—they are major food contaminants, health threats, capable of spreading serious diseases like typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, and food poisoning.

What Happens When Offal Is Left Unattended?

Improper waste disposal during Eid becomes a breeding ground for pests within just hours. Here's what to expect:

🦟 Flies: Laying eggs on waste and meat scraps, leading to maggot infestations

🐀 Rodents: Attracted by the strong odor of meat and blood, increasing risk of rat bites and contamination

🧳 Cockroaches: Quickly colonize dirty drains and meat-handling areas

🐜 Ants: Invade kitchens and storage areas looking for protein-rich food

How to Protect Your Family & Neighborhood

UPM Pakistan recommends these essential steps for every household and community:

Ensure Cleanliness Inside & Around Your Home:

• Clean slaughter areas thoroughly using disinfectants like phenyl or bleach.
• Immediately remove blood stains and wash tools and surfaces used during Qurbani.
• Keep all meat covered and stored properly to avoid attracting pests.

Dispose of Offal the Right Way:

• Use municipal collection bags and avoid dumping waste in open plots or drains.
• Double-bag waste to prevent leakage and odor.
• Do not pour waste or blood into sewers—it leads to fly and cockroach infestations.

Use Preventive Measures:

• Install fly traps and insect light traps around garbage points and kitchens.
• Turn on the air curtains with recommended speed in commercial settings.
• Seal entry points like doors, windows, and drainage covers.
