Pest Control in Brooklyn Center, MN

Brooklyn Center winters are long. January lows average about 7 degrees, and roughly 155 nights a year fall to freezing or below. July highs average near 83, with about 12 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. The area receives about 31 inches of precipitation annually, and June is the wettest month at roughly 4.4 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.

That much cold pushes pests into heated buildings, and older apartments, shared garages and storage rooms are places where mice and cockroaches can travel between units. Sealing gaps around pipes, repairing door sweeps and keeping storage areas free of clutter and open food make the biggest difference in the months before the first freeze.

When June rain arrives, the challenge changes. Gutters that do not drain, planters, tarps and low spots in parking areas hold water, and mosquitoes take advantage. Checking drainage after storms, keeping dumpsters closed and rinsing them out on a regular basis all cut down on flies and other pests.
