Pest Control in Maine
Maine has a humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and cool, short summers. The forested landscape and seasonal warmth bring moderate mosquito and ant activity in summer, while rodents and spiders seek indoor shelter during the long, harsh winters. Termite pressure is lower than in southern states but still present in coastal areas.
