Pests we treat around Arundel
Pests in Arundel
What we deal with most around Arundel, ME
Swamp edges and wooded lots make a good home for mosquitoes and ticks, so both are part of a normal summer here. Carpenter ants nest in wet wood, and termites can be a concern for any wood in contact with soil, so sills, porches and crawl spaces are worth a look. Mice and rodents come in when the weather cools, wasps build under roof edges, and spiders spread through basements and garages. Fleas can move in on pets that spend time outdoors.
Arundel has about 160 nights a year at or below freezing and about 4 days a year at 90 degrees or above. Summers are mild, but they are still long enough for mosquitoes and ants to multiply, and the cold months push stink bugs, boxelder bugs and rodents toward warm buildings.
Weather and pests
How Arundel's weather affects pest activity
Arundel's climate is on the milder side for Maine in winter, and wet all year. July highs average about 77 degrees, January lows average around 13, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings about 52 inches of precipitation and roughly 49 inches of snow, and October is the wettest month at about 5.6 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
With more than 5 inches of rain in October, the ground around a foundation is often soaked just as pests begin moving. Water pooled near sills keeps wood damp and draws carpenter ants, and the same conditions favor spiders and other insects that follow moisture. Snow, at about 49 inches a year, is lighter than in much of the state, but it still covers gaps at the base of a house until it melts.
A sensible plan for an Arundel home includes gutters that carry water away, mulch pulled back from siding and firewood kept off the ground. In spring, check wood for soft spots. In early fall, seal gaps and inspect the garage. If you would like help with any of it, we are glad to walk through the property with you.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Arundel
Ant treatment in Arundel
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Arundel, 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 Arundel
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Arundel 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 Arundel
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Arundel home is built.
Cockroach control in Arundel
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 Arundel apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Arundel
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 Arundel
Arundel's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. 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.
