Pest pressure in Ohio
Ohio's climate is humid continental, with hot humid summers and cold winters. Ohio has a sharp four-season pest cycle — termites and ants in spring, mosquitoes in summer, rodents and stink bugs in fall. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure OH homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Ohio look different than they do in colder northern states.
