Pest Control in Washington

Weather differs from one part of Washington to another. Across the communities we serve, July highs average roughly 79°F, ranging from about 67 to 92°F, while January lows average near 33°F. A typical year brings roughly 36 inches of precipitation, from about 7 inches in the driest of our cities to about 85 in the wettest, and about 65 nights a year at or below freezing. These figures are climate averages from local weather records for 131 cities, so they describe the pattern, not a forecast.

Mild winters in much of the state keep pests from ever fully going dormant, so a rainy season that lasts for months acts like an invitation. Persistent dampness swells wood, feeds fungus and pulls ants and termites toward rotting trim. Fixing roof leaks, venting crawl spaces and keeping soil away from siding are some of the most effective preventive steps you can take.

Sealing is best done in late summer, before fall rain sends rodents and spiders looking for dry ground. Spring is the time to check for wet wood and ant trails, while mid-summer calls for watching for wasp nests as they grow. Inland areas with drier, hotter summers see pests move toward irrigated lawns and gardens, so timing depends on your side of the state. Ask us what fits your property and we will map out a sensible schedule.
