Pest Control in Oak Grove, KY

The climate figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide and not a forecast. August is the warmest month, while July highs average about 88 degrees. January is the coldest month, with lows near 28. A typical year brings about 47 inches of precipitation, and the normals show essentially no snowfall. May is the wettest month, at close to 5 inches.

Spring rain and warm soil create ideal conditions for mosquito breeding and for termite swarms. Standing water in a clogged gutter, a wheelbarrow or a low patch of lawn can produce a lot of mosquitoes in a short time, so a weekly walk around the yard is worth the effort. Moist soil next to a foundation also makes it easy for termites to reach wood, which is why we like to see drainage handled before treatment begins.

The long, hot summer is when fleas, ants and roaches peak, and a preventive exterior treatment before midsummer helps hold them back. When fall brings cooler nights, rodents and spiders look for warmth, and sealed doors, vents and utility openings become the priority. Because winters are mild and snowless, activity indoors can continue quietly, and a January check of garages and attics may turn up early signs.
