Pest Control in Weston, WI

The figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with highs near 80 degrees, and January is the coldest, with lows around 7. A typical year brings about 34 inches of precipitation and around 64 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at roughly 4.7 inches.

Heavy snow is the defining feature of the year. It piles against foundations, hides low gaps and covers up problems until the melt, when moisture seeps toward the house and can attract ants and wood-damaging insects. Shoveling snow away from walls, extending downspouts and clearing vents are all simple ways to reduce those risks. Ice dams and roof leaks can also open the way for moisture and pests, so watch for stains on ceilings.

When the ground finally thaws and June rains arrive, mosquitoes get their opportunity. Standing water in gutters, buckets and yard depressions needs regular attention, and mosquito control around the property can make evenings much more pleasant. In fall, focus on closing gaps, screening vents and storing firewood at a distance from the house. Businesses should also pay attention to entry doors and loading areas, where rodents often first gain access.
