Pest Control in Garden City, KS

With only about 18 inches of precipitation a year, water is precious to pests here. Anything that leaks, drips or stays damp, like a sprinkler line, an air conditioner drain or a cracked pipe under a sink, attracts cockroaches, ants, spiders and sometimes scorpions. Irrigated lawns and gardens act as oases, so the yard edges near a foundation are worth watching.

Garden City sees about 56 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, and that heat speeds up insect life cycles, so ant colonies and fly populations can grow fast. Then come about 112 nights a year at or below freezing. Mice and rats move toward buildings as soon as those cold nights begin, and they can stay through the whole winter if the gaps are still there. Large, open plains also mean wind and dust, which carry debris and insects against buildings and into small openings. A pest inspection is the easiest way to see where a home is vulnerable, whether that is a worn door sweep, a gap around a pipe or a damp corner. From there, we can recommend natural pest control options that fit the problem, and you decide what to do next.
