Pests we treat around Bow
Pests in Bow
What we deal with most around Bow, NH
Mice, squirrels and chipmunks are the most common animal invaders, entering through roofline gaps, garage doors and vents. Carpenter ants seek out damp wood, termites can be present in soil near foundations, and wasps build in eaves, sheds and even old tree cavities. Ticks and mosquitoes are constant companions in shaded yards that back onto forest or bog.
With about 165 nights a year at or below freezing, the cold season is long, and pests treat a warm house as an irresistible shelter. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs collect on sun-facing walls in early fall, and cluster flies can follow. Cleaning up debris, sealing openings and keeping firewood at a distance from the house go a long way toward preventing a winter of unwanted guests.
Weather and pests
How Bow's weather affects pest activity
Bow's summers are warm and its winters are cold. July highs average about 83 degrees, January lows about 13, and around 14 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. A typical year brings about 42 inches of precipitation and roughly 68 inches of snow, and October is the wettest month at close to 4.4 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
Compared with other places in the state, Bow gets a fairly moderate amount of precipitation, but its snow total is high, and that snowpack matters. It protects rodents traveling along the foundation and holds moisture at the base of the house until the spring melt. Once the snow is gone, take a walk around the exterior and look for gaps, damaged screens and softened wood.
The 14 hot days each summer are enough to boost mosquito and ant activity, especially after a stretch of rain. Empty containers of standing water, keep gutters clear and maintain screens on windows and doors. In fall, October rain and cooler nights bring rodents toward the house, so schedule your sealing and exclusion work for September.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Bow
Ant treatment in Bow
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Bow, 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 Bow
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Bow 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 Bow
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 Bow home is built.
Cockroach control in Bow
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 Bow apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Bow
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 Bow
Bow'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.
