Pest Control in Lincoln Township, IN

Lincoln Township has four distinct seasons. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 85 degrees, and January is the coldest, with lows near 21. The area receives about 41 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and June is the wettest month at roughly 5.1 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.

Roughly 106 nights a year drop to freezing or below, which is more than three months of pressure pushing mice and overwintering insects toward garages, attics and heated basements. Fall is the time to seal gaps around pipes, doors and vents before the cold settles in. Summer heat is moderate, with around 17 days at 90 degrees or above, but warm, damp stretches are plenty for ants and mosquitoes to build up.

That wet early summer matters. June rain leaves water in gutters, plant saucers and low spots in the lawn, and mosquitoes need only a small amount to breed. Keeping downspouts clear, storing firewood off the ground and trimming shrubs back from siding will reduce the moisture that carpenter ants and termites prefer. Spring and early summer are good times for exterior treatment, and a mid-winter check of the attic and garage catches anything that slipped past in the fall.
