Common Pest Problems in Howard County
Howard County is in the Midwest, so the pests homeowners call about follow that climate and the county's mix of older neighborhoods, newer subdivisions and open land.
- Cold snaps send mice and squirrels inside. Mice, rats and squirrels look for an attic, wall void or garage once temperatures drop, and they keep chewing wiring through winter.
- Short, intense summers. Wasps, mosquitoes and ants peak fast in the warm months, and bed bugs travel through apartments, hotels and used furniture all year.
- Termites in Iowa. Termite risk in Iowa is moderate, and it is highest in homes with moisture at the foundation or wood touching soil.
- Winter and rodents. Long, hard winters push rodents and squirrels into every warm cavity, so calls spike from the first cold snap until the thaw.
