When is the best time of year for pest control?
Pests are present all year long no matter the weather, season or area you live. The best time of year for pest control is all year long to help keep them at bay and prevent future infestations. We approach pest control based on pests’ habits – what pests are doing and where they are going during each time of the year.
Additionally, we used Climate Zones defined by the US Department of Energy as a foundation to identify 9 distinct pest zones in the US that all have unique pest control needs.
Each Orkin Pro visit features special activities and treatments to ensure that your home is protected from pest behaviors specific to both the pest season and the zone. Get peace of mind today and call Orkin for a free inspection of your home.
