Pest Control in East Bay Township, MI

The figures in this section are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide rather than a forecast. East Bay Township averages about 29 inches of precipitation a year. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 81 degrees, and January lows average about 17, with February typically the coldest month overall.

October is the wettest month, at roughly 3.6 inches on average. That matters because the dampest stretch of the year arrives just as temperatures fall. Wet leaf litter, soggy mulch beds and damp foundation soil hold moisture against the house right when mice, ants and other pests are hunting for a place to spend winter. Clearing gutters, pulling mulch a few inches back from the foundation and fixing outdoor drips all help.

Spring brings its own timing. As the ground thaws, carpenter ants and termites become active, and water pooling in low spots of the yard starts the mosquito cycle. A simple calendar works well here: seal and inspect in early fall before the October rains, keep gutters and drainage clear, treat exterior foundations in spring, and watch for standing water through the short summer. We can tailor that plan to your property.
