Maine Pest Season Calendar
Cold winters with heavy snow limit outdoor pest activity but drive rodents, cockroaches, and other pests indoors for extended periods. Peak pest season runs May through September.
Spring
As snow melts, carpenter ants and wasps emerge from dormancy — inspect eaves and wood structures.
Summer
Short but intense pest season; treat yards early and keep up with mosquito prevention.
Fall
Fall invasions happen fast — seal the home before the first hard freeze.
Winter
Long winters mean months of indoor rodent pressure; use bait stations and traps proactively.
Common Pest Issues in Maine
Rodent infestations driven by long, harsh winters
Carpenter ant damage in moisture-prone wood
Short but intense mosquito and tick seasons
Cluster flies and lady beetles invading attics in fall

I would never typically leave a review but this is the most unprofessional service I have ever attempted to use. TL:DR- they showed up for a service I never booked and then billed me $365, owner was combative and hung up on me I scheduled an intial consult with them which was great. Their scheduling is done from somewhere else so they just choose your date. The one they chose did not work for me and I told the scheduling service I could only do a certain day of the week due to a work schedule a

I originally started with one of the big corporate pest control companies, but after switching to Maine Pest Solutions, the difference has been night and day. Chance is fantastic — he operates with total honesty and integrity, takes the time to explain what he’s doing, and truly cares about solving the problem the right way. The service feels personal and reliable, not rushed or cookie-cutter like the big guys. It’s refreshing to work with a local company that stands behind their work and actual

Thank you, Joe!
(Now that the baby is put down, here my review) Picture this: a newly married couple moves into a house, and recently found out they were expecting. As they're moving in, they hear the sound of scratches. They think nothing of it at first, until... they find 2 dead mice in two seperate locations, and one (living) mouse staring them right in the face in their home. Not a great start for a couple preparing for a baby. After scouring for quotes and driving back from their camp in Sebec, they find

Thanks so much Blake for the kind words. Was a pleasure working with you guys.
Jesse is our super hero. We called him in July about a massive rat infestation. They were in the walls, ceilings, roof, cellar, the house, the chicken house, and the gardens. We were in despair and frantic, and making no progress on our own. Jesse was reassuring ("i have see worse than this") and confident ("I know we can do this") He was also prompt, very affordable, determined, kept the appointments he made, attentive to long term control,, and very pleasant to work with. We have not s
