Pest Control in Dallas, OR

Dallas is one of the wetter spots in this batch. July highs average about 82 degrees, August is the warmest month, and about 17 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average around 35, December is the coldest month and also the wettest at about 8.7 inches, and the area totals roughly 48 inches of precipitation with snow averaging out to close to zero. Around 49 nights a year drop to freezing or below. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.

December's almost nine inches of rain is the driver for most pest work here. Water that lingers around foundations, under decks and along fence lines keeps wood soft, which suits termites and carpenter ants, and it moves rodents out of saturated ground and into dry buildings. Roughly 49 freezing nights are enough to send spiders and overwintering insects indoors, but not enough to end their season.

Warm summers with a modest number of hot days give ants, wasps and mosquitoes plenty of time to multiply. The practical response is to time the work: clear gutters and check drainage in early fall, watch crawl spaces and attics over winter, treat the exterior as spring arrives, and empty standing water regularly through summer. If you notice sawdust-like debris, mud tubes or droppings, call us promptly.
