Pest Control in Wyckoff Township, NJ

Wyckoff Township has a true four-season climate. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 84 degrees, and January is the coldest, with lows around 20. The area sees roughly 48 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and June is the wettest month at about 5 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide and not a forecast.

Only about 14 days a year reach 90 degrees, so summer heat is fairly short, but the number of nights at or below freezing is high, around 121 a year. That long cold season is what pushes mice and overwintering insects toward your walls, attic and basement. A wet June also means standing water and a strong start to mosquito season, well before the hottest weeks arrive.

In practice, we suggest sealing entry points and trimming back shrubs and branches in early fall, clearing gutters and dumping stagnant water from late spring on, and keeping wood piles off the ground and away from the house. Spring is the right moment to look for carpenter ant trails and early termite signs, while winter is the time to watch garages, basements and attics for droppings or scratching sounds.
