Pests we treat around Hollis
Pests in Hollis
What we deal with most around Hollis, ME
Mice and other rodents are the most common winter invaders here, and with a season this long they have months to look for a way in. Carpenter ants excavate damp wood in porches, sills and window frames, and spiders spread through basements and garages. Once the weather warms, ticks and mosquitoes are active in yards near Googins Woods and along wooded edges, and wasps build under roof overhangs and in sheds.
Hollis has about 8 days a year at 90 degrees or above, which is a little more heat than many Maine places see, and that extra warmth can help ants and wasps build up quickly in July and August. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs then gather on sunny walls in the fall, and cockroaches and bed bugs are more a matter of how they are brought in than of where you live.
Weather and pests
How Hollis's weather affects pest activity
Hollis has warm summers for Maine and very cold winters. July highs average about 80 degrees, January lows average around 8, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings about 52 inches of precipitation and roughly 81 inches of snow, and October is the wettest month at about 5.8 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
The wet October is the turning point of the pest year. Steady rain, cooler nights and falling leaves all point mice and insects toward buildings, and those insects and rodents then have around 184 freezing nights to stay inside. Snow that piles against the house hides gaps and keeps wood damp, which is why winter and early spring often reveal problems that started months earlier.
For Hollis homes, we would put most of the effort into September and early October. Seal gaps around pipes and vents, repair damaged screens and clear leaves and debris from the foundation. In spring, look for soft wood, prune shrubs that touch the house and start monitoring for nests before summer arrives.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Hollis
Ant treatment in Hollis
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Hollis, 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 Hollis
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Hollis 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 Hollis
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 Hollis home is built.
Cockroach control in Hollis
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 Hollis apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Hollis
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 Hollis
Hollis'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.
