Pests we treat around Newton
Pests in Newton
What we deal with most around Newton, IA
Newton households most often want help with ants in kitchens, mice in garages and basements, and spiders in sheds and window wells. In spring, carpenter ants and termites become active in wood that has soaked up rain, and by summer mosquitoes and wasps take over patios and porches. Fall pushes stink bugs, boxelder bugs and rodents toward the warm walls of houses, and they will use the smallest opening.
Winters are cold. Newton records about 142 nights a year at or below freezing, and January lows average near 10 degrees, so rodents in particular have strong reasons to move indoors. Even so, about 21 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and summer heat brings its own surge of insects. Timing matters at both ends of the year.
Weather and pests
How Newton's weather affects pest activity
These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they give a general pattern, not a forecast. July highs in Newton average about 85 degrees, and January lows average about 10. The area receives roughly 35 inches of precipitation and about 29 inches of snow in a typical year. June is the wettest month, at about 5.0 inches.
A moist June gives every plant in the arboretum and every garden bed a boost, and it does the same for pest populations. Mosquitoes breed in any container that holds water for a few days, so overturning buckets and clearing gutters matters. Damp mulch against siding also creates a bridge for ants and termites, and pulling it back a few inches removes it.
When snow arrives, small animals go looking for a warm place with food, and the crawl spaces and garages of quiet houses can seem ideal. We recommend a fall check of weather stripping, foundation vents and the spot where the garage door meets the floor. If you spot droppings or hear scratching during winter, a technician can find how they got in and close it off properly.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Newton
Ant treatment in Newton
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Newton, 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 Newton
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Newton 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 Newton
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 Newton home is built.
Cockroach control in Newton
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 Newton apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Newton
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 Newton
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Newton. 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.
