Pest Control in Orangeburg, SC

Orangeburg has hot summers and mild winters. July highs average about 93 degrees and roughly 85 days a year reach 90 or higher, while January lows average around 37. About 43 nights a year fall to freezing or below. The area receives about 50 inches of precipitation and essentially no snow, and July is the wettest month at about 5.8 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.

With 85 hot days, insects rarely slow down between May and September. A wet July on top of that keeps soil damp around foundations and fills yards with standing water, which means termites, ants and mosquitoes are active at once. In winter, cold nights drive rodents toward buildings, where warmth and food are within reach.

For an older home, we recommend a full look at the crawl space, foundation vents and roofline each spring, water management all summer, and a fall round of sealing gaps around pipes, vents and doors. Fix leaks quickly, because wet wood is what many wood-destroying pests look for.
