Pest pressure in Missouri
Missouri's climate is humid continental in the north, humid subtropical in the south. Missouri pest activity is heaviest spring through fall, with termite, brown recluse, mosquito and rodent calls dominating. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure MO homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Missouri look different than they do in colder northern states.
The biggest pest issues in Missouri
Eastern subterranean termites
Missouri has heavy termite pressure statewide — termite damage is among the most common pre-purchase inspection findings.
Brown recluse spiders
Missouri is the epicenter of the brown recluse native range. Heavy infestations in older homes are widespread.
