It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Clever sits in a climate shaped by the Ozark Plateau's elevation and forest cover, humid but with real seasonal variation. Housing age varies from historic Ozark construction to more recently built suburban and tourism-area homes. That's exactly what ticks, house mice, spiders, stink bugs, subterranean termites, and carpenter ants need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Older wood-frame homes are common throughout the rural Ozarks, alongside newer suburban construction around Springfield. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
