Pest Control in Clyde, TX

Clyde has long, hot summers. July highs average about 95 degrees, and the area sees roughly 103 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. Winters are short and mild by comparison, with January lows averaging near 30 degrees and about 59 nights a year at or below freezing. All figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide and not a forecast.

The area receives about 28 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with around 3 inches of snow. May is the wettest month, averaging close to 3.6 inches. A wet May leaves puddles in low spots, flower pots and clogged gutters, which is where mosquitoes lay eggs, so mosquito control starts with emptying anything that holds water. The same moisture pulls termites and carpenter ants toward damp wood.

With that many hot days, insects breed fast and pests look for shade, water and cool indoor air. The roughly two months of freezing nights each winter still push mice, spiders and scorpions toward the warmth of buildings. Sealing gaps in late summer and early fall, trimming plants back from the walls, and keeping firewood and lumber off the ground will help you through the whole year.
