Pest Control in Flowood, MS

Flowood's weather is warm, humid and occasionally wintry. July highs average about 92 degrees, August is typically the warmest month, and around 85 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average about 37, and about 1 inch of snow falls in a typical year. Annual precipitation is close to 57 inches, and April is the wettest month, with nearly 6 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.

A wet April is the trigger for much of the spring pest activity. Damp soil and warming temperatures wake termites and ants, and standing water produces the first wave of mosquitoes. By summer, heat and humidity accelerate everything, so that a light infestation in June can become a serious one by August if it goes unchecked.

The most useful plan for Flowood homes runs by the calendar. In March, repair leaks, clear gutters and trim vegetation off the house. In April and May, add an exterior barrier treatment. In summer, keep water from pooling and watch for wasp nests. In fall, seal gaps around doors and utilities, and in winter, check attics, garages and crawl spaces for any signs of rodents.
