The best time to discuss pest control for your Lake of the Ozarks property is when you notice a concern or want to plan a selected service. There is no single treatment month that fits every pest, home or business.

Spring: Review Your Property

Look over screens, doors, storage areas and places with persistent moisture. Note pest activity and share what you find when requesting an assessment. Ask which services, if any, are appropriate for the conditions observed.

Summer: Keep Up with Maintenance

Continue managing food waste and water-holding containers. Discuss any outdoor pest concerns separately so the estimate identifies the services you want. General pest service does not automatically include mosquito, tick or termite treatment.

Fall: Check Access and Storage Areas

Review damaged screens and suitable gaps around entry points. Keep stored items accessible for inspection. Report recurring activity rather than assuming a seasonal application will address every concern.

Winter: Monitor and Plan

Continue watching areas where you previously noticed pests. Contact the office about new activity and review your service schedule when your needs change. Do not wait for a particular season to report an active problem.

Choose the Schedule for Your Service

Plank offers standalone services and customized combinations through Perimeter Guard. Visit frequency, preparation and follow-up are explained in your estimate or service agreement. A recurring schedule should reflect the selected work rather than a blanket promise of year-round elimination.

For general prevention principles, see EPA integrated pest management guidance.
