Pest Control in Moses Lake, WA

Moses Lake gets only about 8 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and winters bring some snow (about 14 inches). July highs average about 90 degrees, and July is also the warmest month. January lows average around 24, and December is typically the coldest. December is also the wettest month, but it averages only about 1.1 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.

With so little rain, pests look for water sources. Irrigated lawns, leaking hose bibs, pet bowls and damp spots under air conditioners can all draw ants, spiders and mosquitoes toward the house. In the long cold season, rodents look for the warmth and food inside garages, storage areas and crawl spaces, and a gap the width of a pencil is enough for a mouse.

We suggest fixing small leaks and irrigation overspray in spring, keeping firewood and stored items off the ground and away from walls, sealing gaps and door sweeps before the first hard freezes, and checking sheds and outbuildings a couple of times a year. Those steps make the biggest difference in a climate where the extremes do most of the work.
