Pest Control in Long Beach, MS

Long Beach has a humid, warm climate. July highs average about 90 degrees, and July is both the warmest and the wettest month, with about 8 inches falling in July alone (roughly 68 inches over a full year). Around 44 days a year reach 90 or above, so summers are hot but slightly more moderate than farther inland. January lows average about 44, snow is unknown, and only around 13 nights per year hit freezing. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.

Because the wettest and warmest months overlap, midsummer is the peak of insect pressure. Standing water collects in gutters, birdbaths, potted plants and low spots, and mosquitoes multiply within days. The wet soil also helps termites, which prefer moisture, and ants seeking shelter from heavy rain often march straight into kitchens and pantries.

A good year in Long Beach looks like this. In early spring, inspect the exterior for moisture damage and treat around the foundation. In summer, empty and scrub anything that holds water and keep shrubs trimmed off the house. In fall, seal small gaps and check screens. In the mild winter, stay alert, since some pests never stop.
