Pests we treat around Cedar Falls
Pests in Cedar Falls
What we deal with most around Cedar Falls, IA
Cedar Falls sees about 150 nights a year at or below freezing, which makes rodents the most predictable winter pest. Mice tend to arrive with the first cold nights, and they settle into garages, attics, crawl spaces and wall voids. Spiders follow the insects that follow the warmth, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs pile up on the sunny side of the house before finding a way in.
In the warmer months, mosquitoes breed in ponds, ditches and water-filled containers, ticks wait in tall grass and along woodland edges, and wasps build in eaves and under decks. Carpenter ants and termites become more active as soil warms, and both prefer damp wood. Where several people share a roof, such as apartments and other multi-unit buildings, cockroaches and bed bugs are worth watching for and are easier to stop early.
Weather and pests
How Cedar Falls's weather affects pest activity
Cedar Falls has cold winters and pleasantly warm summers. July is the warmest month, with average highs around 85 degrees, and January is the coldest, with average lows near 11. About 15 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. The area receives roughly 36 inches of precipitation and about 39 inches of snow in a typical year. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
June is the wettest month, with about 5.7 inches, so early summer is the time to look for standing water. Downspouts, saucers under plants, old buckets and clogged gutters can each produce a fresh batch of mosquitoes. Wet soil beside the foundation also encourages ants to nest close to the house.
Winter then brings deep cold and heavy snow. Rodents look for warmth and food, so pet food, birdseed and garbage should be stored in sealed containers. Check weatherstripping around garage doors, look at gaps where cables and pipes enter the house, and be prepared to repeat those checks in midwinter, when snow drifts can hide new openings.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Cedar Falls
Ant treatment in Cedar Falls
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Cedar Falls, 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 Cedar Falls
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Cedar Falls 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 Cedar Falls
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 Cedar Falls home is built.
Cockroach control in Cedar Falls
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 Cedar Falls apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Cedar Falls
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 Cedar Falls
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Cedar Falls. 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.
