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