Pest Control in Bogalusa, LA

Bogalusa's summers are hot and its winters are cool but short. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 92 degrees, and about 88 days a year reach 90 or above. January lows average around 39, and about 28 nights a year fall to freezing, while snow is unusual. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they describe a general pattern and are not a forecast.

The area receives about 64 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and June is the wettest month at nearly 8 inches, the most of any month for the cities in this group. That sort of rainfall fills gutters, ditches and low corners with mosquito habitat within days and keeps soil near foundations constantly moist. After heavy rain, look under decks, beside downspouts and along fences for pooling water.

The roughly 28 freezing nights each year are enough to change insect and rodent behavior. Cockroaches and mice head for kitchens, garages and utility rooms, so it makes sense to seal gaps and repair worn weatherstripping in autumn. Come spring, an exterior treatment before the first warm and humid spell puts you ahead of ants and termite swarms.
