Pests in Selma
What we deal with most around Selma, NC
Selma is hot for much of the year, and pests love it. About 53 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, so ants, cockroaches and fleas multiply quickly, and mosquitoes and wasps become a daily nuisance around patios and playgrounds. Termites, which are always working out of sight, are a particular worry for homes with wooden framing, decks or fences near the soil.
Cold nights are not severe, but they are not absent either: Selma sees about 76 nights a year at or below freezing. That is plenty to send mice and rats into attics and crawl spaces, and to send stink bugs and spiders into garages. Because the growing season is long, it pays to inspect and reseal small gaps every year instead of waiting for signs of trouble.
Weather and pests
How Selma's weather affects pest activity
Selma has long, hot summers. July highs average about 92 degrees, and July is the warmest month. Winters are cool, with January lows averaging around 31, and January is the coldest month. Snowfall is about 1 inch in a typical year. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
Precipitation is about 49 inches a year, and July is the wettest month at around 5.5 inches. A stormy, hot July gives mosquitoes ideal conditions, and it saturates the soil beside foundations, drawing termites and carpenter ants toward the house. Grading that carries water away from the walls, plus tidy gutters, is an inexpensive way to lower the risk.
A workable year in Selma starts with spring exterior treatment and a pest inspection of wood near the ground. In summer, focus on mosquito control and checking for wasp nests under eaves. In fall, seal small openings before rodents look for shelter. In winter, check garages and attics for signs of activity. We can put that plan together for your home if you ask for a quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Selma
Ant treatment in Selma
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Selma, 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 Selma
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Selma 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 Selma
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 Selma home is built.
Cockroach control in Selma
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 Selma apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Selma
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 Selma
Selma'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.
