Pest Control in Leonardtown, MD

Leonardtown has hot summers and fairly mild winters for Maryland. July highs average about 87 degrees, January lows average around 30, and January is usually the coldest month. A typical year brings about 45 inches of precipitation and roughly 12 inches of snow, and August tends to be the wettest month at just under 5 inches. About 26 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and around 68 nights fall to freezing or below. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast.

With fewer freezing nights than much of the state, insects here stay active longer into fall and wake up earlier in spring. A wet August adds to a long mosquito season, and warm, damp soil around foundations is exactly what termites and carpenter ants prefer. Even a mild winter still sends rodents indoors when a cold snap arrives.

For Leonardtown we suggest starting exterior treatment and moisture checks in early spring, watching standing water and wasp nests through the summer, sealing entry points in early fall, and checking crawl spaces and attics during winter. If your home is new, ask about the gaps that builders often leave around utility lines.
