Pest Control in Seward, NE

Seward has four distinct seasons. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 86 degrees, and January is the coldest, with lows averaging around 12. In a typical year the area gets about 29 inches of precipitation and roughly 22 inches of snow, and May is usually the wettest month at close to 5 inches. About 35 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.

A wet May sets up the mosquito season, because gutters, flower pots, birdbaths and low spots in the yard all hold water long enough for eggs to hatch. Summer heat then speeds up ant colonies and encourages wasps to build under eaves and railings. When the cold arrives, mice and spiders look for warm gaps around pipes, doors and the garage.

A simple yearly rhythm works well here. Seal cracks and begin exterior treatment in early spring, empty standing water through summer, knock down wasp nests before fall, close entry points before the first freeze, and check basements and attics through the winter months.
