Pests in Madison
What we deal with most around Madison, WI
Winter is long in Madison, with about 157 nights a year at or below freezing, so the biggest push comes in autumn. Mice and other rodents slip through tiny gaps in garages, crawl spaces and around pipes, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs collect on sunny walls before squeezing inside to overwinter. Carpenter ants go for wood that has been softened by moisture, and termites work quietly along foundations where nobody is looking.
By summer the focus shifts outdoors. Mosquitoes multiply in any spot where water sits for a few days, ticks wait in tall grass at the edge of a yard or trail, and wasps take over eaves, grills and playground equipment. Spiders are around all year and are usually harmless, but a heavy web population on a porch often means the insects they eat are nearby too.
Weather and pests
How Madison's weather affects pest activity
Madison's July highs average about 82 degrees, while January lows average about 11. A typical year brings about 40 inches of precipitation, and June is the wettest month at about 5.7 inches. About 10 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast.
That much June rain keeps soil wet next to foundations, and wet soil is what termites and carpenter ants look for. It also fills low corners of a yard with the standing water mosquitoes need. Then the freezing nights arrive, and with more than 150 of them each year, the pressure on rodents to find a warm spot never really lets up from fall into spring.
A workable schedule for a Madison home looks like this. Use spring to repair screens, clean gutters and inspect wood near the ground. In summer, tip out planters and buckets and check under eaves for new nests. Use early fall to seal gaps and store firewood away from walls, and check the attic and basement in winter. If you want a technician to tailor that list to your property, ask for a free quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Madison
Ant treatment in Madison
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Madison, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Madison
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Madison buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. 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 Madison
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 Madison home is built.
Cockroach control in Madison
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 Madison apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Madison
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 Madison
Madison'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.
