Local conditions
Common Pest Problems in Dover
Dover sits in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Dover cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Termites in Delaware. Delaware sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching.
- Winter and rodents. Cool winters send mice, rats and squirrels toward attics and garages, though insects slow down only for a few months.
- Ticks. Leaf litter and wood edges hold ticks from spring through fall, so check yards, pets and kids after time outside.
- Rodents move in when the weather turns. Mice and rats look for warmth from October on, slipping through gaps around pipes, garage doors and old foundations. Older rowhouses and brick homes with shared walls make a single entry point a whole-block problem.
- Carpenter ants and damp wood. Wet sills, leaky gutters and old porches draw carpenter ants, and termites work through basements and crawl spaces more than most homeowners expect.

When to Call an Exterminator in Dover Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.

Do exterminators cover my neighborhood in Dover?
Yes. Calls come from all over Dover, including Crossgates, Morris Estates and White Oak Farms, and from every ZIP code listed on this page in Kent County.
Is termite risk high in Dover?
Delaware sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching. A termite inspection report costs about $95 to $245 and is the one lenders ask for in many home sales.
What should I do before the exterminator arrives?
Don't spray store-bought products where you saw the pest, because it can scatter them. Keep kids and pets away from the area, put food in sealed containers and write down where and when you see the pest. Photos help the technician.
