Pest pressure in North Carolina
North Carolina's climate is humid subtropical in the east, more temperate in the mountains. North Carolina sees heavy termite and mosquito pressure spring through fall, with rodent calls spiking November–January. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure NC homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in North Carolina look different than they do in colder northern states.
