Hot summers and chilly winter nights both push pests toward buildings, so we plan for two different seasons. Learning what is drawing pests to a property is the first job.

Pests in Modesto
What we deal with most around Modesto, CA
Ants show up first in Modesto, working their way into kitchens, pantries and pet dishes. Spiders take up residence in garages, sheds and fence lines, cockroaches settle near plumbing, and termites and carpenter ants feed on wood that stays damp. Mice and rats look for warm attics, crawl spaces and stored boxes, and mosquitoes and fleas take advantage of lawns and standing water.
With about 90 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, hot weather runs long and speeds up insect breeding. Winter is also real here, with about 12 nights at or below freezing, and that sends rodents and overwintering insects toward the warmth of homes. A spring visit and a fall visit cover most of what a property needs.
Weather and pests
How Modesto's weather affects pest activity
Modesto has hot, dry summers and cool winters. July highs average about 95 degrees and January lows about 39, July is the warmest month and December the coldest. Annual precipitation is about 12 inches, January is the wettest month at roughly 2.6 inches, and snow does not fall. Please treat these 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station as a guide, not a forecast.
January rain saturates soil and roofs, and that pushes ants, roaches and rodents inside while giving termites and carpenter ants damp wood to work on. In summer, irrigated lawns and shaded corners keep insects comfortable, and any water left in trays, buckets or clogged gutters becomes a mosquito nursery. Cold snaps in December bring rodents looking for shelter.
Direct sprinklers and downspouts away from walls, fix leaky faucets, and move woodpiles and lumber off the ground and away from the house. Seal gaps around doors and pipes before the cold nights begin. If you would like a hand building a schedule, our team can walk your property with you.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Modesto
Ant treatment in Modesto
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Modesto, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Modesto
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Modesto buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Modesto
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Modesto home is built.
Cockroach control in Modesto
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Modesto apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Modesto
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Modesto
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Modesto. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
