Pest Control in Chadron, NE

Chadron has a dry, cold climate with a lot of snow. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging around 12 degrees, and July is the warmest, with highs averaging about 89. The area sees about 50 inches of snow in a typical year but only about 19 inches of precipitation in total, and June is the wettest month at just over 3 inches. About 44 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.

Deep snow can pile against foundations and hide gaps, wood stacks and debris until the spring melt, and that meltwater leaves damp soil near the house right when insects are waking up. Summer days can be hot, so ants and spiders are drawn to shade and moisture near the foundation, and a single wet spell is enough for mosquitoes to breed in gutters or buckets.

In Chadron we suggest a spring cleanup once the snow is gone, an exterior treatment as the weather warms, a summer check for wasp nests and standing water, and a thorough sealing of gaps before the cold sets in. Winter checks in the basement and attic catch anything that got past the first line of defense.
