Professional pest control is most effective when combined with good prevention habits. In El Reno, el Reno experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers averaging highs of 93°F in July and mild winters with average lows near 25°F in January. The city receives about 34 inches of rainfall annually, with notable spring storms. These conditions support high insect activity in warm months and drive rodents indoors during temperature extremes. Here are practical steps El Reno homeowners can take between service visits to reduce pest attractants:
Fix leaky faucets. Make sure water drains away from your foundation. Use dehumidifiers in damp basements or crawl spaces. With El Reno’s waterways nearby, moisture control is extra important. Check sprinkler systems often to stop standing water near your El Reno home's foundation.
Trim tree branches and shrubs at least 18 inches from your home. Clear leaf litter, mulch buildup near foundations, and dead wood from your yard. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away and off the ground. Good yard care around Canadian County homes cuts down hiding spots for spiders, ants, and rodents.
Check your El Reno home for gaps around pipes, foundation cracks, torn screens, and spaces under doors. Even tiny openings let in insects and mice. Seal them with weatherstripping, door sweeps, caulk, and steel wool. El Reno’s soil can shift and create new gaps. Check your seals each season.
