Pests in Burlington
What we deal with most around Burlington, IA
Burlington homeowners tend to call us about the same handful of pests. Mice and rats slip into garages and basements as nights cool off, carpenter ants work into wood that has stayed damp, and termites feed out of sight in framing and foundation timbers. Spiders settle into sheds, window wells and porch corners, while stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sunny walls in the fall before squeezing into attic gaps.
With 118 nights a year at or below freezing, the pull toward warm buildings lasts a long time, so a rodent or overwintering insect that gets in during October can stay active in your walls all winter. Summer brings its own pressure. About 23 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and that heat speeds up ant colonies and draws mosquitoes and flies around yards and parks. Spider control and rodent control work best when they are scheduled around these swings rather than after the first sighting.
Weather and pests
How Burlington's weather affects pest activity
The figures below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 85 degrees, January lows average around 16, and January is the coldest month. Burlington receives about 38 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and May is the wettest month at roughly 4.9 inches.
That wet spring matters for pests more than the yearly total suggests. After a rainy May, gutters, planters, buckets and low corners of a yard hold water, and mosquito control becomes a practical concern for anyone spending evenings on a patio or near the parks. The same moisture soaks mulch and wood near the foundation, which is exactly where termites and carpenter ants like to start.
Cold arrives in earnest by late fall. With about 118 freezing nights a year, we suggest walking the outside of your home in September, sealing gaps around pipes, vents and door sweeps, and moving firewood away from the walls. Doing this early gives you a calmer winter and fewer surprises when the first warm spell wakes things up in spring.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Burlington
Ant treatment in Burlington
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Burlington, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Burlington
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Burlington buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. 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 Burlington
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 Burlington home is built.
Cockroach control in Burlington
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 Burlington apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Burlington
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 Burlington
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Burlington. 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.
