Pests we treat around Crafton
Pests in Crafton
What we deal with most around Crafton, PA
Homes near parks and garden beds tend to see a steady stream of ants, and carpenter ants in particular go after damp wood in porches, window trim and fence posts. Mice and rats follow food and shelter into garages, basements and kitchen walls once the weather cools. Cockroaches can move between attached homes and shared walls, and wasps build under eaves and in play equipment during summer.
Crafton has about 107 nights a year at or below freezing, which is enough to send rodents and overwintering insects looking for warmth each fall. In the other direction, around 20 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and that heat speeds up ant colonies, fly populations and mosquito breeding. Because both seasons bring pressure, we like to plan service for spring and again before the first frost rather than waiting for a sighting.
Weather and pests
How Crafton's weather affects pest activity
Crafton has four distinct seasons. The numbers below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide and not a forecast. July highs average about 85 degrees, and January lows average about 20, with July also the warmest month and January the coldest.
A typical year brings about 38 inches of precipitation, and July is the wettest month at roughly 3.6 inches. A wet midsummer keeps grass, mulch and garden beds damp, which helps mosquitoes, fleas and ticks thrive around yards and play areas. Termites also stay active where soil stays moist against a foundation, so it pays to keep downspouts pointed away from the house.
For Crafton homes we suggest a simple yearly rhythm. In early spring, trim shrubs back from siding and look for soft or stained wood. Through the summer heat, empty standing water weekly and keep trash sealed. In the fall, before the freezing nights begin, close gaps around pipes, vents and garage doors. During winter, check basements and attics now and then for droppings, chewed insulation or scratching sounds inside the walls.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Crafton
Ant treatment in Crafton
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Crafton, 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 Crafton
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Crafton 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 Crafton
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Crafton home is built.
Cockroach control in Crafton
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 Crafton apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Crafton
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 Crafton
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Crafton. 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.
