Pest Control in Olean, NY

Olean has cold, snowy winters and mild summers. The average July high is about 80 degrees, the average January low is near 13, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings roughly 41 inches of precipitation and about 65 inches of snow. June is the wettest month at about 4.5 inches, and only about 2 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher.

These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are meant as a guide, not a forecast. Any one year may look different.

A wet June carries plenty of moisture into the start of summer. Standing water forms in gutters, planters and low spots, and mosquitoes take advantage quickly. The damp soil against foundations also attracts ants and termites, especially where mulch is piled against siding. By contrast, the 150 freezing nights we see each year push mice toward every heated structure they can reach.

For most Olean properties, we suggest checking the exterior in spring, controlling moisture in early summer, sealing gaps in early fall and monitoring attics and basements through winter. A single visit at the right moment often does more than repeated attempts after an infestation begins.
