Pest Control in Vineyard, UT

The weather numbers below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast. Vineyard has hot summers, with July highs averaging about 93 degrees and roughly 55 days a year at 90 or above. January lows average around 24 degrees, and about 123 nights a year fall at or below freezing.

Precipitation totals about 16 inches a year, with around 41 inches of snow. May is the wettest month, at roughly 2 inches. Warm days after a damp May are what push ant colonies into high gear, and any standing water left in a bucket, tarp or clogged gutter gives mosquitoes a place to breed. Because the summers are hot, insects also head for shade and cool corners of the house.

The best plan follows the seasons. Put exterior treatment on the calendar in spring, before colonies spread and while wasps are only starting nests. Check screens and sprinkler runs in summer. As the days shorten, seal gaps around pipes, garage doors and vents so that mice and overwintering bugs find nothing open. Winter is a good time to look in the garage and storage areas for droppings or gnawed boxes.
