Pests we treat around Athens
Pests in Athens
What we deal with most around Athens, TX
Athens sits in a warm, moist part of East Texas, and the pests match. Termites are a leading concern for older wood-framed houses and new ones alike, carpenter ants tunnel into damp lumber, and cockroaches thrive in humid kitchens and crawl spaces. Mosquitoes breed in shaded, low spots, ticks hide in tall grass, and spiders and wasps settle around outbuildings and eaves.
About 92 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, so summer is long and active, while about 42 nights a year fall to freezing or below, prompting mice and rats to look for cozy spots in attics and garages. Fleas are common around pets in shady yards, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs can cluster on sunny walls in the fall. Regular monitoring keeps small issues from growing.
Weather and pests
How Athens's weather affects pest activity
These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast. July highs in Athens average about 94 degrees, August is the warmest month, and January is the coldest month with lows near 34 degrees.
A typical year sees about 45 inches of precipitation, and snow is not part of the picture. October is the wettest month at about 5.1 inches, so autumn can be surprisingly damp. That fall moisture keeps insects moving around foundations and can send ants and cockroaches inside as they look for drier ground.
With hot summers and a wet fall, a two-part plan works well. Use spring to treat the perimeter and clear leaf litter, and use late summer to check gutters and drains before October rain arrives. In winter, listen for rodents in the walls and attic, and repair weatherstripping and vent screens that have worn out.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Athens
Ant treatment in Athens
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Athens, 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 Athens
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Athens 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 Athens
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 Athens home is built.
Cockroach control in Athens
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 Athens apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Athens
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 Athens
Athens'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.
