Pests we treat around China
Pests in China
What we deal with most around China, ME
Homes near ponds, forests and trails are exposed to ticks and mosquitoes for much of the warm season, and both are easy to overlook until someone finds a bite. Carpenter ants tunnel into damp wood, especially around windows, decks and any spot where a roof or gutter has leaked. Mice, rats and other rodents move toward garages, sheds and attics as nights cool, and spiders and wasps make themselves at home on porches and under eaves. In the fall, stink bugs and boxelder bugs land on sunny siding in large numbers.
China has about 164 nights a year at or below freezing, along with only about 6 days at 90 degrees or above. The long cold is what turns an outdoor pest into an indoor one, so most of our advice comes down to getting the house ready before that first hard freeze.
Weather and pests
How China's weather affects pest activity
China has a northern New England climate. July highs average about 80 degrees, January lows average around 9, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings about 43 inches of precipitation, and October is the wettest month at roughly 4.9 inches. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
Cool nights, wet leaves and October rain are a signal to animals and insects that it is time to move. They look for dry, sheltered spots, and a house with even a small gap under a door or around a vent can be an easy answer. Come spring, thawing ground and rain leave pools of standing water, and mosquitoes make use of them quickly, so it helps to deal with breeding spots early.
We recommend tying your home care to the calendar. In spring, check for wood damage from the winter and trim back branches. In summer, empty standing water and keep an eye on nests. In early fall, seal gaps and stack firewood away from the house. In winter, watch for droppings, scratching or chewed material in attics and basements.
How we fix it
Pest control services in China
Ant treatment in China
Ants are among the most common calls we get in China, 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 China
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and China 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 China
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 China home is built.
Cockroach control in China
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 China apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in China
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 China
China'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.
