It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Glouster sits in a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers and winters milder than northern Ohio, given the region's more southern position. This region has some genuinely old urban housing stock paired with decades of ongoing suburban development. That's exactly what carpenter ants, subterranean termites, stink bugs, house mice, spiders, and ticks 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. Brick and wood-frame construction from the region's industrial era dominates, alongside newer suburban growth. 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.
