Pest Control in East Grand Forks, MN

The figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide and not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with highs near 80 degrees, and about 7 days a year reach 90 or higher. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about -1 degree, and roughly 179 nights a year sit at or below freezing, which is close to half the year.

Annual precipitation is about 23 inches, and average snowfall is about 49 inches. June is the wettest month, at roughly 4.1 inches on average, so the first weeks of summer are when standing water and mosquito activity build. That is a good time to fix drainage problems and empty anything that collects rain.

A freeze-heavy climate changes the timing of pest work. Rodents begin testing foundations and garage doors well before the first snow, so sealing and exclusion work is best finished in early fall. In spring the thaw sends water toward basements and crawl spaces, where damp conditions draw ants and cockroaches, so it also pays to check for moisture as the snow melts.
