Pest Control in Kentucky

Weather differs from one part of Kentucky to another. Across the communities we serve, July highs average roughly 87°F, ranging from about 84 to 90°F, while January lows average near 25°F. A typical year brings roughly 49 inches of precipitation, from about 43 inches in the driest of our cities to about 58 in the wettest, and about 96 nights a year at or below freezing. These figures are climate averages from local weather records for 88 cities, so they describe the pattern, not a forecast.

The pairing of warm, muggy summers with properly cold winters gives pests a long active season and then a hard reset. Ants, mosquitoes and wasps ramp up as spring warms and stay busy well into fall, which is the window when exclusion work such as sealing gaps, trimming vegetation and fixing drainage pays off most.

When cold nights return, rodents, stink bugs and spiders start hunting for shelter in wall voids and attics. Sealing entry points in late summer, before they go looking, works far better than trying to evict them in January. Spring moisture also wakes termites up, so that is a sensible time to have foundations and crawl spaces checked.
