What Drives Pest Problems Around Pinetta

Pinetta sits in the quiet northern end of Madison County, just below the Georgia line, where most homes share their land with pine stands, hay fields and crop ground. That mix matters for pests. When crops come out of the fields and the woods are thinned, the field mice and other rodents that lived there all summer lose their cover and their food at the same time. From October into winter they follow the scent of grain, birdseed and dog food to the nearest buildings, which out here usually means a workshop, an equipment shed or the back porch of the house. A pair of mice that settles into a tack room or seed bag in the fall can be a real colony by spring.

The warm months bring a different problem. Paper wasps and red wasps love the open eaves of pole barns, carports and old outbuildings, and their nests grow quickly from April through late summer. Because those buildings are used less often than the house, nests tend to go unnoticed until someone reaches for a gate latch or a lawn mower handle. If you are finding nests under barn rafters or porch ceilings, our wasp control service handles removal and treats the spots they keep returning to.

A Tip for Pinetta Sheds and Workshops

• Move seed, feed and pet food out of paper sacks and into metal cans with tight lids before the fall harvest.
• Keep stored equipment and lumber a few inches off the floor so you can see droppings early.
• Knock down small wasp nests in early spring, before the first workers hatch, and check again in May.

The Big Bend has a mix of pine forest, wetlands and small towns, and that mix brings plenty of pests. Mosquitoes breed in low, wet ground, fire ants and ticks are common in yards and wooded lots, and cockroaches and rodents look for shelter indoors through the cooler months.
