Know your pests
Pests we treat around Dexter
Pests in Dexter
What we deal with most around Dexter, MO
Dexter has hot summers, with about 59 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. Warm weather like that speeds up insect life cycles, so ants, cockroaches, spiders and fleas can build up in a hurry. Mosquitoes are a constant during the season, ticks wait in tall grass, and wasps build in eaves, mailboxes and sheds. Termites remain a quiet threat to wood in and around the home.
Winter is mild, with about 77 nights a year at or below freezing, but that is still enough to send mice and rats looking for a warm attic or garage. Because so many pests stay active late into the year, we recommend a steady schedule instead of a single treatment. Small, regular visits are usually easier on the budget and on the home.
Weather and pests
How Dexter's weather affects pest activity
Dexter's weather is hot and wet. July highs average about 92 degrees, January lows average around 27, and the area receives about 49 inches of precipitation in a typical year. The normals show almost no snowfall. April is the wettest month, at about 5.4 inches. All of these numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast.
An April peak means the wet season begins early, so standing water and damp soil are already in place before the warmest months arrive. Mosquitoes start breeding in gutters, planters and tarps, and termites and carpenter ants take advantage of moist wood. Checking drainage and clearing debris in early spring helps put the odds in your favor before summer starts.
With so little snow and a short cold season, pests do not go dormant for long. Cockroaches and ants stay active inside heated buildings, and mice stay busy in garages and sheds. We suggest treating the exterior of your home in early spring, watching for water problems through the summer, sealing gaps in fall, and keeping an eye on kitchens, laundry rooms and attics when it is cold outside.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Dexter
Ant treatment in Dexter
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Dexter, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Dexter
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Dexter buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. 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 Dexter
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 Dexter home is built.
Cockroach control in Dexter
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 Dexter apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Dexter
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 Dexter
Dexter'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.
