What Monsoon Season Stirs Up

Heavy rain floods underground hiding places and pushes insects to higher ground. Homes, garages, and patios become shelter.

Crickets gather around lights, and cockroaches move out of soaked drains and irrigation boxes. Scorpions follow the crickets.

Humidity also triggers termite swarms, with winged termites appearing near windows and lights on warm evenings.

Standing water left after a storm can also lead to mosquitoes within days. Emptying pots, clearing drains, and checking low spots in the yard helps reduce breeding.

Ants are part of the story too. After a heavy rain, colonies often relocate to drier spots, which can mean new trails along walls, kitchen counters, and bathroom floors in the days that follow.

Staying Ahead of the Storms

Regular service before and during monsoon season keeps populations lower going in, so the surge is easier to manage. We treat foundations, wall bases, drains, and entry points, and pay close attention to low spots where water collects.

If you see a spike in activity after a storm, call us. Free re-treatments between visits mean you are covered.

Keeping gutters and drainage paths clear, sealing gaps under doors, and turning off unnecessary outdoor lights during storm season all help reduce the number of pests drawn toward the house.

Termite Swarmers Are a Warning

Seeing winged termites indoors usually means a colony is nearby. Schedule an inspection so we can check for mud tubes and damage and recommend treatment if needed.

Bi-monthly pest service starts starting at $45 a month for homes up to 2,500 square feet.

After heavy rain, foundations, garages, and storm affected corners all get a careful check. Our day rate pay structure is what makes that possible.

We use pet friendly, eco-friendly products that are safe for kids and pets once dry, so your family can enjoy the backyard again as soon as the storms pass.
