Staunton’s cooler winters and humid summers create an environment where pests remain active year-round. Carpenter bees are a frequent nuisance, especially in historic homes where they bore into wooden structures. Stink bugs are another common issue in the fall, invading homes as they seek shelter from colder temperatures. Mice and rats are particularly prevalent in rural and suburban areas, often nesting in sheds, garages, and basements. During the warmer months, ticks are a major concern due to the surrounding woodlands and grassy fields, posing risks to both pets and people. Termites continue to be a year-round threat, especially in older wooden structures that comprise much of Staunton’s architecture. Additionally, house centipedes thrive in damp basements and crawl spaces, startling homeowners with quick movements and long legs.
