A seasonal pest calendar for Lexington
What tends to show up when, given the local climate.
Through the year
Local weather shapes the calendar. Lexington has a humid subtropical-to-continental climate with warm, humid summers and cool, wet winters. Summers are warm and humid, and rain is spread through every season.
Spring and summer bring ants, wasps, and stinging insects; late summer is peak for yellowjackets; and fall pushes mice and overwintering insects indoors as it cools. Subterranean termites are an established, year-round risk across central Kentucky, and many Bluegrass-area homes carry ongoing termite protection for that reason. Recurring service is timed around this pressure.
