Pest Control in Peninsula Township, MI

Here is what the weather looks like. The numbers come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station and work as a guide rather than a forecast. July is the warmest month with highs near 80 degrees, and the coldest month is February, while January lows average about 16 degrees.

An average year brings about 31 inches of precipitation, and October is the wettest month at roughly 4.0 inches. That fall rain often arrives just as rodents and overwintering insects start searching for shelter, so damp leaves against the foundation and blocked gutters are worth fixing early. In summer, only about 5 days a year reach 90 degrees, so the season is milder than in much of the state, though it is warm enough for mosquitoes and wasps.

With roughly 157 freezing nights a year, winter has plenty of time to drive pests toward heated buildings. Cooler summers mean that ant and wasp activity tends to peak in July and August, and the calendar for prevention is compact. We usually recommend an exterior treatment in late spring, a check for standing water through summer, and a firm effort to seal gaps in September before the first frost.
