Pests in Des Peres
What we deal with most around Des Peres, MO
Wooded conservation areas are good for wildlife and less good for attics. Squirrels, mice and rats can all find ways into soffits and roof vents, and carpenter ants often follow tree limbs that touch the house. Termites and ants are the most common insect calls, and spiders are frequent visitors near porch lights and window wells.
In the warm season, mosquitoes breed in shaded areas where leaves and water collect, and ticks wait in leaf litter and along trails. Wasps favor eaves and sheds. With about 106 nights a year at or below freezing, stink bugs and boxelder bugs move onto sunny walls in autumn, and rodents begin their search for winter shelter soon afterward.
Weather and pests
How Des Peres's weather affects pest activity
Des Peres has hot summers and cold winters. July highs average about 89 degrees, and about 41 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average near 22 degrees. A typical year brings about 42 inches of precipitation and roughly 8 inches of snow, and May is the wettest month at around 5.2 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and work as a guide, not a forecast.
Spring rainfall pools in low ground and in the leaf litter around wooded areas, so mosquitoes and ticks tend to appear early. Keeping leaves off the lawn, storing firewood away from walls and trimming branches back from the roof all reduce the paths pests use to reach a house.
Snow is modest, but the freezing nights are frequent enough that rodents will keep looking for warmth from late fall onward. Our approach is to inspect the roofline, vents and foundation in autumn and close every opening we find. Regular checks during the winter, especially of attics and garages, help catch any sign of trouble quickly.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Des Peres
Ant treatment in Des Peres
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Des Peres, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Des Peres
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Des Peres buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Des Peres
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Des Peres home is built.
Cockroach control in Des Peres
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Des Peres apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Des Peres
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Des Peres
Des Peres's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
