Pest Control in Greenwood, MS

Greenwood is a little drier than much of Mississippi but still humid. Precipitation totals about 52 inches a year, and April is the wettest month at close to 6 inches. Summers are hot, with August normally the warmest month, while January lows average around 35 and snow is rare. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.

The long stretch of 90-degree days speeds up insect life cycles. Ants build colonies faster, cockroaches breed more quickly, and mosquito populations can jump within a week of a good rain. Flat ground and nearby irrigation, which are typical of the region, also let water linger in places that would drain away elsewhere, which is why yard maintenance matters so much.

Here is a workable plan for Greenwood. In early spring, tackle drainage and treat the exterior. In summer, empty containers, clean gutters and monitor kitchens and baths for roaches and ants. In fall, close entry points ahead of the first cold nights. In winter, look in attics, sheds and behind appliances for evidence of mice, and bring in a professional at the first sign of a problem.
