Pest Control in Summerville, SC

Summerville is warm for much of the year and gets plenty of rain. July highs average about 90 degrees and January lows average around 34. The area receives about 53 inches of precipitation in a typical year with no meaningful snow, and July is the wettest month at close to 7 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they should be read as a guide, not a forecast.

Because July is both the hottest and the wettest month, midsummer is the peak for mosquito breeding. Rain fills gutters, tarps, trash can lids and low patches of lawn just as the heat speeds up the insect life cycle. The same wet soil gives termites and ants easy access along foundations, so clearing debris, fixing drips and directing downspouts away from the house pay off quickly.

For winter, remember that January lows near 34 degrees still allow the occasional freeze. That is when rodents test door frames, dryer vents and gaps beside pipes. A simple routine of inspecting the outside of the house each fall, looking again in mid-winter and then scheduling a spring treatment keeps most problems small. If something unusual turns up, our technicians can help you decide what to do next.
