A typical year brings about 20 inches of precipitation, including roughly 64 inches of snow, and August is the wettest month at about 3.4 inches.

The figures above are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so please use them as a guide and not a prediction. A long, deep-cold winter means that once a pest is inside, it tends to stay inside. There is little chance for the cold to knock back an indoor population, which is why catching signs early and closing entry points before freeze-up matters more here than almost anywhere.

Try this seasonal approach. When the snow melts in spring, inspect foundations, skirting and stairs for gaps. In summer, clear puddles and other standing water, and repair screens so that mosquitoes stay outside. Before the ground freezes, seal openings around pipes and doors and store food, pet food and birdseed in sealed containers. Through the winter, check storage areas and cabinets for droppings, chewed packaging or musty odors.
