Pest Control in Shoreview, MN

Shoreview winters are cold and summers are warm. January lows average about 8 degrees, and July highs average near 83. About 12 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and around 157 nights fall to freezing or below. Precipitation adds up to about 33 inches a year, and June is the wettest month at roughly 4.5 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.

For pests, the calendar splits neatly in two. From May through September, warm temperatures and June rain drive mosquitoes, ants, wasps and ticks, and yard care matters most: dump standing water, trim shrubs off the house, keep firewood stacked away from walls and clean out gutters. Those habits reduce the shelter and moisture pests rely on.

From October through April, about 157 freezing nights push mice and overwintering insects toward warmth. Sealing gaps, installing door sweeps and keeping stored items off the floor of garages and basements will prevent most problems. A service visit in early fall, before the first hard freeze, gives you protection when it counts, and a check of the attic in midwinter tells you whether anything slipped through.
