It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Arkansas has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and generally mild winters, though the northern Ozark highlands run cooler than the Mississippi Delta lowlands in the east. Housing stock skews older, with many homes built mid-20th century, typical of small rural Arkansas communities. That's exactly what termites, carpenter ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, and spiders 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. Typical rural Arkansas housing mix of older frame homes, mobile homes, and modest newer construction. 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.
