Pests we treat around Lancaster
Pests in Lancaster
What we deal with most around Lancaster, OH
In neighborhoods with older buildings, we see many cases of termites, carpenter ants and mice. Wood framing, stone or brick foundations, porches and old basements all give pests places to settle, and gaps open up over the years around chimneys, pipes and windows. Spiders build webs in cellars and corners, and cockroaches take advantage of any warm, damp spot in kitchens and baths.
Outdoors, mosquitoes breed in standing water and wasps build nests under eaves, porch roofs and outbuildings. Ticks and fleas are worth watching for around park edges, gardens and pets. As the days shorten, stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sunny walls and squeeze inside through cracks around windows and doors. Bed bugs can hitch a ride into any home, so a pest inspection is wise when anything looks suspicious.
Weather and pests
How Lancaster's weather affects pest activity
Lancaster has warm summers and cold winters. July highs average about 85 degrees and January lows about 22, with January the coldest month. In a typical year the area receives roughly 40 inches of precipitation, and July is the wettest month at about 4 inches. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so please read them as a guide, not a forecast.
About 22 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and July's rain arrives in the middle of that heat, which suits mosquitoes and ants. Old gutters and downspouts are often the culprits, sending water toward foundations and keeping wood damp. Have them cleaned, repair any sags and make sure water runs well away from the house.
Around 114 nights a year fall to freezing or below, so rodents and overwintering insects begin testing the outside of buildings in early fall. Seal gaps around older windows, chimney bases, pipes and vents, and keep firewood stacked off the ground and away from walls. A slow walk around the outside of the house each autumn is one of the best prevention steps.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Lancaster
Ant treatment in Lancaster
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Lancaster, 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 Lancaster
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Lancaster 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 Lancaster
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 Lancaster home is built.
Cockroach control in Lancaster
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 Lancaster apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Lancaster
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 Lancaster
Lancaster'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.
