Pest Control in Dewey-Humboldt, AZ

Dewey-Humboldt has four distinct seasons. July highs average about 90 degrees, December is typically the coldest month, and January lows average around 24. In a typical year the area receives roughly 16 inches of precipitation, including about 10 inches of snow, and August is usually the wettest month at close to 3 inches. About 44 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and about 128 nights fall to freezing or below. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.

More than 120 freezing nights pushes mice, spiders and overwintering insects toward heated buildings from fall into spring. Closing gaps around pipes, doors and garage edges before the first hard cold is one of the most useful chores you can do. Summer pulls in the opposite direction, with heat driving ants and wasps toward shade and water, and the August rains leaving puddles and clogged gutters where mosquitoes can breed.

A simple calendar helps here. Late winter is the time to inspect the outside of the home and trim back anything touching the walls. Spring is best for a barrier treatment as ants and spiders wake up. Summer calls for draining standing water, and mosquito control is worth considering after the rains arrive. Autumn is for sealing and tidying, so the cold does not send guests indoors.
